The following EIR Multi-Client Special Reports

are now available.

1 . The Real Story of Libya's Muammar Qaddafi

A comprehensive review of the forces that placed
Qaddafi in power and continue to control him to this
day. Includes discussion of British intelligence input,
stemming from Qaddafi's training at Sandhurst and
his ties to the Senussi (Muslim) Brotherhood. Heavy
emphasis is placed on control ove Qaddafi exer-
cised by elements of the Italian Propaganda-2 Ma-
sonic Lodge, which coordinates capital flight, drug-
running, and terrorism in Italy. Also explored in depth
are "Billygate," the role of Armand Hammer, and
Qaddafi's ties to fugitive financier Robert Vesco.

2. The Club of Rome in the Middle East

A dossier on the role played by the Club of Rome in
promoting "Islamic fundamentalists." Focusing on two
organizations, the Arab Thought Forum and Islam
and the West, both of which are intimately tied to the
Club of Rome. The report shows how the Club uses
"Islamic fundamentalism" as a political tool to pro-
mote neo-Malthusian, anti-development ideas
throughout the Middle East.

3. Terrorism and Guerrilla Warfare in Central America
A background report on the real sources of instability
in Central America. Exclusive analysis of the sources
of religious war in the region, including the Jesuit
order's "left-wing" Theology of Liberation, a primary
source of the Sandinista movement; and the "right-
wing," led by Christian fundamentalist cultist Rios
Montt and Sun Myung Moon. The report also dis-
cusses the role of Israel as an arms supplier to both
"right" and "left." The report shows that the long-term
destabilization of Central America is the result of the
U.S. State Department's demand for the reduction
of the region's population.

4. What is the Trilateral Commission?

This revised and expanded report is the most widely
sold of EIR's Special Reports. The most complete
analysis of the background, origins, and goals of this
much-talked-about organization. Demonstrates the
role of the Commission in the Propaganda-2 Free-

7.

masonic scandal that collapsed the Italian govern-
ment in 1981; and in the Federal Reserve's high-
interest-rate policy. Details the Commission's influ-
ence in the Reagan administration. Includes com-
plete member ship.

Saudi Arabia in the Year 2023
Written by EIR Contributing Editor Lyndon H. La-
Rouche Jr. at the request of several Arab clients, this
public memorandum report outlines Mr. LaRouche's
proposals for the development of Saudi Arabia over
the next 40 years, as the fulcrum of an extended Arab
world stretching from Morocco in the west to Iran in
the east. It outlines the approach necessary to prop-
erly industrialize and stabilize the entire region over
the next two generations.

Africa: A Case Study of CI.S. North-South Policy

A case study of the "new" North-South policy of the
Reagan administration, showing how economic pol-
icy toward Africa is being shaped according to the
anti-technology, zero-growth guidelines of the Cart-
er administration's Global 2000 Report. Discusses
in detail the role being played by the AID and World
Bank in implementing this policy, under direction pri-
marily from Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and
the Ford Foundation. Includes profiles of the admin-
istration's top ten policy-makers for Africa.

Will Moscow Become the Third Rome?: How the KGB
Controls the Peace Movement
This recent report documents the dominant influen-
ce on Soviet policy-making of the 500-year-old my-
stical prophecy that Moscow shall become the cen-
ter of a Third, and Final, Roman Empire. Details
the Western networks through which the
Andropov "Third Rome" faction plans to subvert
U.S. security and sabotage the new "mutually
assured survival" strategic doctrine announced by
President Reagan March 23, 1983.

Introduction

The Hot Autumn and Separatism

The integrity of the nations of Western Europe now
stands threatened. Under the combined pressures of the
"peace and disarmament movement" and its terrorist
wing, the governments of Europe have the choice of
preserving social and political order or succumbing and
having their nations ripped apart in violence.

The "Hot Autumn" of 1983 has begun.

This EIR Special Report is an indispensable manual
for political leaders, policy planners, law enforcement
and security specialists. It is a comprehensive overview
of the command-and-control centers directing the
numerous entities dedicated to "neutralizing" Western
Europe.

Chaos Not Peace

The strategic objective of the enemies of the Western
Alliance is the destruction of the sovereign nations of
Europe and the dismantling of the United States' policy
and influence on the European continent. The anti-
NATO "peace movement" and the separatist terrorism
of the Basque ETA, Corsican FNLC, et al are a hand-in-
glove operation directed at redrawing the political and
geographic map of Europe.

In reality, the "peace movement" is not concerned
with stopping the placement of Pershing or Cruise
missiles on European soil, but is committed to destroying
the modern nation-state. In conjunction with the an-
thropologists' network of separatist movements, the ob-
jective of these "blood and soil" forces is to generate
throughout Europe a protracted condition of chaos,
economic depression, regional wars, dionysiac orgies of
assassination, rioting and insurrection in numerous
nations.

Cui Bono?

Of course, the Soviet Union benefits. An empire which
under Yuri Andropov is increasingly being transformed
into a gnostic theocracy, directed from behind-the-scenes
by the Russian Orthodox Church, has struck a deal with
the powerful European aristocratic and financier forces
that sponsor the Swiss-based Nazi International's
separatist terrorists. In what they conceive to be a clever
deal to run the U.S. out of Europe, numerous leaders
have been most accommodating to Mr. Andropov and
his puppets.

A Hobbesian alliance has been negotiated with the
"Western Empire" division composed of a Lon-
don/Swiss/Venice axis. Lord Carrington is the most visi-
ble spokesman of this "empire faction."

With the "green light", signaled by Kissinger's return
to political power, the "European integrationists" in all
political camps are speaking openly of "decoupling"
Europe from the United States. This tendency is most
prominent in West Germany, where there has been a
revival of the old turn-of-the-century idea of "Mit-
teleuropa." Modeled on the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
an "independent" Europe would in fact function as a
satrapy of Holy Mother Russia.

The destruction of the institution of the sovereign
nation-state, to be replaced by a Malthusian world-
federalist order, is the aim of this process. The model of
ideological reference for this fascist design is the Utopian
doctrine of the founder of Hapsburg's Pan European
Union, Count Coudenhove-Kalergi and his "Europe of
the Regions," with Switzerland as the practical example.

The disinformation line of the collaborationists
assisted by Kissinger's U.S. State Dept. diplomatic corps
is "talk of a hot autumn is a self-fulfilling prophesy."
This has led to an insane policy of compromise with the
street-level "grassroots" networks of the peace move-
ment, treating them as a legitimate political force and
turning a blind eye to the gamemasters who pull the
strings from the Kremlin.

The green-peace movement and its separatist terror
adjunct are not sociological phenomena. It is only from
this reference point that effective action can be taken
against the increasing social disorder. When a politician
advocates unconstitutional acts against the State, is he or
she immune to the law? For the present, West Germany
is experiencing such a nightmare. The newly elected
Green Party parliamentarians openly defy the Federal
Constitution by advocating violence against the station-
ing of the Pershing/Cruise missiles and declare their in-
tentions to publicly reveal security-related state secrets.
In Spain, the aboveground support infrastructure for the
terrorist ETA in the Basque region has been running
cover for ETA assassination teams by creating riots in
cities throughout the north of the country. The motive
for the rioting has been the refusal of Herri Batasuna
(ETA's aboveground arm) politicians to accept the
display of the Spanish flag on municipal buildings.

"Blood and Soil" Separatism

An understanding of the ideological roots of such
strange "bedfellows" as Andropov, Kissinger and Carr-
ington is necessary to develop effective counter-measures
to the ongoing destabilization of the political and social
order of Europe.

In what world are Armenian assassins, Basque, Cor-
sican and Kalistan terrorists, Bretons, Alsatian, Catalan,
Sardinian nationalists, Tyrolean fascists, Sicilian
Mafioso "nationalists," Revolutionary Cell and Red
Brigade bombers considered "progressive forces?" Only
in a feudalistic oligarcbist racialist world of empires rul-
ed by "cultural relativism"-a "blood and soil" world of
tribes.

Yuri Andropov, Petra Kelly, Muammar Qaddafi,
ETA's military commander Txomin, Nazi International
and Muslim Brotherhood financier Francois Genoud
and young neo-Nazis agree that: (1) industrial capitalism
must be destroyed— "Industry pollutes and destroys the
environment", (2) the development of science and tech-
nology must be stopped — "No to nuclear energy, it
leads to war", (3) the modern nation-state must be de-
stroyed — "Balkanization for everyone."

The concept of the Herrenvolk, the Master Race, was
by no means a Nazi original. Long before the Third
Reich, both Eastern and Western "empire factions" fan-
cied themselves the Chosen People to rule over the in-
ferior races.

A racialist, messianic and imperialistic empire concept
mediated through the Russian Orthodox Church is today
the dominant ideology informing Kremlin policy. Marx-
ism was just a superficial passing phase. Therefore, all is
justified to make Moscow the "Third and Final Rome."
The Anglo-Saxon racialism associated with what became
Milner's Roundtable coheres with a "blood and soil"
concept. Bertrand Russell, a member of Milner's
Kindergarden and leading "peacenik," stated quite
bluntly the real aims of the peace movement.

In Impact of Science on Society, Russell wrote: "At
present the population of the world is increasing at about
58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great ef-
fect on this increase, which continued throughout each
of the world wars ... War has hitherto been disappoin-
ting in this respect... but perhaps bacteriological war may
prove effective. If a Black Death could spread
throughout the world once in every generation, survivors
could orocreate freelv without makine the world too full.

weapons and rejecting high energy ballistic missile
defense systems, while cynically supporting conventional
military build-up.

The Command Structure

The command-and-control apparat deploying the fascist
shocktroops for the "Hot Autumn" is a multifaceted in-
frastructure with a sophisticated division of labor. Ob-
taining results like an ETA terrorist murdering a Guardia
Civil in Bilbao or a Green Party member sabotaging a
NATO ammunition transport unit requires many
elements.

Collaboration between East and West is required.
Patriarch Pimen of Moscow, who is responsible for the
peace movement, runs his operations through institu-
tions like the World Council of Churches based in
Geneva, the World Peace Council, the Bertrand Russell
Foundation and the Prague-based Christian Peace
Conference.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Soviet Union Geidar
Aliyev is responsible for the Separatist International and
Qaddafi's network. Aliyev's career has taken him from
his position as former director of the KGB to secretary
general of the Communist Party of Azerbaijan, where
for years he developed expertise in manipulating Islamic
groups and ethnic minorities. Aliyev's work is facilitated
by an international support network of anthropologists,
sociologists, lawyers and institutions like CIEMEN.

The chain of command flowchart includes:

—The Russian Politburo, Russian Orthodox Church
and the KGB;

— Religious institutions such as the Benedictines,
Jesuits, German Lutheran Church;

—One World institutions such as the United Nations,
Club of Rome and the World Council of Churches;

— Institutions of the European aristocracy such as the
Venetian Societe Europeenne de Culture, the Danish In-
stitute, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Foundation, and Euro-
pean Parliament;

— Logistical, training and financial command centers
such as Libva. the Lausanne-based Nazi International-

Hot Autymn: The Neutralization of Germany

If everything unfolds according to the desires of most of
the West German media, without which the "peace
movement" is not even conceivable, then between
September 1-3 certain events will occur in the small Swa-
bian village of Mutlangen, near Schwabisch-Gmtmd,
which will bring tears to one's eyes.

Original script, from the Hamburg weekly Die Zeit:
"On September 1st, 44 years after the end of World War
II, dozens of world renowned Germans are to sit down
in front of the gates of the American airfield, among
them HeiErich Alberta and Helmut Gollwitzer, the angry
old men of the Church; the ailing Nobel laureate
Heinrich Boll and Giinter Grass...; the 88-year-old
William Born alongside Erhard Eppler and Oskar
Lafontaine and Walter Dirks. These venerables do not
want to 'belong to the silent ones ever again'."

For three days, these "fragile old men" (Die Zeit)
want to persevere in this so-called "blockade of the pro-
minent ones," to protest against the stationing of Per-
shing II missiles, and at the same time to serve as an ex-
ample for what is called "non-violent resistance" in the
language of the "peace movement." The idea for this ac-
tion originated with Haus Vack, who can look back
upon many years of experience in organizing extra-
parliamentary opposition movements.

From 1960-1969, he was manager of the Easter March
Movement, ending up finally, like many other activists
of the student movement, in the Socialist Office
(Sozialistischen Buro) in Offenbach, and is now
spokesman of the "Committee for Basic Rights and
Democracy" ("Komitee fiir Grundrechte und
Demokratie"), an organization we will come back to in
a moment.

In his opinion, the sit-in of the above-mentioned pro-
minent representatives of the "peace movement" is a
grandiose chess move: "This is going to cause the
government some problems. I can not imagine that the
government could risk having pictures taken of such
fragile old men, beyond suspicion, being dragged away
by young policemen. Boll in prison? That would spread
around the world. Such a thing cannot be decided by the
Interior Minister of Baden- Wurttemberg alone. He will
have to get back-up from Bonn. But if the authorities do
not take them away, then all the talk about the anarchists
who are trying to throw Germany into chaos will be end-
ed once and for all."

Bertrand Russell and the Two Empires

In fact, this scenario of Vack's is already more than 50
years old. Lord Bertrand Russell, who one may
characterize as one of the most evil persons of the 20th
century, was the one who, in the 1930s, laid the cor-
nerstone for the anti-war movement of the 1960s. He

was the originator of the transformation of the notions
of "violence" into "non-violence." In 1937, Russell and
Aldous Huxley founded the Peace Pledge Union, which
did not prevent Russell from demanding a preventive
nuclear strike by the United States against the Soviet
Union in 1946, before the Soviet Union had its own
nuclear arsenal. Russell's idea was a "world govern-
ment," or, in other words, an Anglo-Saxon world em-
pire, which was to have the monopoly over possession
and use of nuclear weapons.

When the Soviet Union finally did obtain the H-
bomb, Russell's idea of a preventive strike was outdated.
So, in 1957 he organized the foundation of the Pugwash
Conference, which made Russell's idea of splitting the
world into an eastern and western division of a one-
world empire one of its most essential points. At the
same time, Russell gave birth to the "Ban the Bomb"
movement of the 1950s, to undermine President
Eisenhower's policy of "Atoms for Peace" and the
potential for fruitful cooperation with the Soviet Union.
The old Peace Pledge Union became the Bertrand
Russell Peace Foundation, which spawned in the U.S.
the Institute for Policy Studies, the American SDS and
the student Anti-War Movement. In 1958, Hans Werner
Richter became the leader of the West German "Ban the
Bomb" movement, and was elected to be world chair-
man of the movement in London one year later.
Richter's "Group of 47", from which emerged the
Griinwalder Circle and thus the initial spark for the
"New Left" and the West German SDS, included as
members the same "angry old men" we find again 36
years later in the mentioned "Sit-in of the prominent
ones" in Mutlangen.

But such moving scenes, perfect for media play-up,
cannot escape the fact that the coming "Hot Autumn"
scenarios we now confront will be non-peaceful in the
extreme, planned in every detail as if by a General Staff,
and still being planned. The expected actions range from
specific terrorist assaults and sabotage operations to
civil-war-style situations, which will leave the institutions
of the state only the choice between upholding the princi-
ple of law, and if necessary, conducting mass-arrests and
similar measures, or surrendering, and thus accepting
humiliation. In the latter case, the consequence will be,
according to the prophesy of Die Zeit, that Chancellor
Helmut Kohl will have to stand up (like the Minister
President of Lower Saxony Ernst Albrecht once did after
the Gorleben hearings) to confess his impotence, and ut-
ter the "liberating words: the Cruise Missiles and the
Pershings — unfortunately they cannot be stationed
here; the NATO double-track resolution is politically
unrealizable."

Wolfgang Stemstein, a Stuttgart peace-researcher who
has been "discovered" by the peace movement and

6

elevated as their acknowledged theoretician after decades
of impoverished anonymity, has waited for this hot
autumn "for twenty years". If it works according to his
plan, "the state will be pushed to the very limits of its
capacity to rule." And, if the actions this fall are unsuc-
cessful in preventing stationing of the Pershings, Stern-
stein is prepared. Then, he says, will come the "non-
violent riot," understood as an escalation of the so-
called "non-violent resistance."

Personally, Sternstein intends "to attempt to storm a
munitions depot with friends and destroy nuclear
warheads." Mr. Sternstein is unfortunately not the only
representative of this nowadays-overpopulated profes-
sion dedicated to training martyrs who have only one
aim in the coming clashes: to throw oil onto the fire, to
"heat up" the movement, and escalate to a "finale."
The horror vision proliferated through numerous
newspapers has been that of a West German, or perhaps
Dutch, demonstrator shot on American military proper-
ty. That would be the Benno Ohnesorg-effect feared by
security authorities, and quite likely the trigger for actual
civil war-style clashes.

Jo Leinen, the spokesman of the Bundesverband
Btirgerinitiativen Umweltschutz (BBU — Association of
Citizens' Initiatives for the Environment), and his
representatives in the coordinating-committee for the
Hot Autumn, demanded last October that "the Federal
Republic should be made ungovernable." The "peace
movement" intends and is able to accomplish this goal
at various levels. A resolute general-staff stands ready
and — not least, thanks to successful media demagogy —
there is an army of possibly up to three million
demonstrators, as well as an approximately
10,000-strong elite-troop operating with guerrilla-
warfare methods parallel to the demonstrations per se,
according to information gathered by the Bundesamt ftir
Verfassungsschutz (Office for the Protection of the
Constitution).

and journalists, this warning has been consistently ig-
nored by the German media. How can such a pathetic
political party like the DKP through its front organiza-
tions effectively control a considerable part of the
"peace movement"? Financial dependency. It is certain
that a large proportion of the 60 million German Marks
paid annually (according to reports of the Federal
Ministry of the Interior) by the East German SED to its
off-shoot in the West, flows into the coffers of the peace
movement.

As another peace-researcher recently emphasized, the
peace movement now "cannot do without the millions
from the East," because other sources of funds are lack-
ing. Numerous "peace offices" in the Federal Republic
of Germany as well as the "Coordination Office
Autumn '83" in Bonn are directly supported by funds
from the DFU (Deutsche Friedensunion— German Peace
Union, a front-organization of the DKP).

The Krefeld Appeal, for which both the DKP and
DFU organized support, demands the unilateral disar-
mament of NATO.

Almost without exception, nearly all of the pacifist
publications portray U.S. President Reagan as the war-
mongerer par excellence, while the Soviet Union is por-
trayed as merely reacting to the threatened encirclement
by NATO, but always ready to negotiate.

The DKP is most prominently represented in the
Coordinating Committee by the Committee for Disar-
mament and Cooperation (KOFAZ), which has a crucial
leading function for the autumn actions, and the Ger-
man Peace Society /United Opponents of Military Ser-
vice (DFG/VK), which is also firmly rooted in the peace
movement. At one of the northern German coordinating
conferences last June in Hannover, three-fourths of the
1200 participants belonged to the DKP-spectrum, and
the relevant functionaries were brought into the meeting
in a targetted fashion, often with buses.

vironmentalist movement. In 1959, the Forschungstelle
Evangelischer Studiengemeinschaften (FEST — Research
Station Evangelical Student Associations), under Georg
Picht and D.F. Weizsacker, presented the Heidelberg
Theses, which was the basis for the memorandum issued
by the FEST Commission in 1983, working under Klaus
von Schubert. The aim of this memorandum is not only
to provide the theoretical underpinning of the widely
held illusion in the peace movement that the West only
has to show that it is willing to compromise and the
Kremlin will lose its fear of being encircled.

The memorandum also contains an explicit attack
against the only proposal which can be the subject of
fruitful negotiations: that is, the offer of U.S. President
Reagan to jointly develop defense systems based on laser
beams against nuclear missiles, and thus overcome the
terror of nuclear war forever. Instead, the FEST-Study
demands a total stop to the development of anti-missile
defense systems of all kinds, even though it is known that
the Soviet Union has been developing these kinds of
systems for many years.

This demand is not surprising, since Professor von
Schubert has been for many years an active member of
the Pugwash Conferences, which function as the essen-
tial Soviet back-channels to gain influence over western
scientific circles.

Additionally, the EKD has maintained relations for
nearly 30 years to the Russian Orthodox Church, which
has sent delegations with increasing frequency into the
West to support the peace movement in Western Europe
and the United States. A forty-man delegation recently
travelled for a number of weeks in the United States, and
at the conference of the Evangelical Church in Han-
nover, Russian Orthodox Archbishop Pitirim of
Moscow was personally present along with other
representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Judging from all available information, it must be
presumed that a large part of the leadership of the EKD
belongs to the string-pullers of the Hot Autumn. EKD
theologian Doroihee Solle announced the planned
scenario at the recently concluded conference of the
World Council of Churches: the Federal Republic of
Germany is a militarist state and battles must be waged
against NATO domination and capitalism; she feared
deaths on both sides (demonstrators and police). Pastor
Heinrich Albertz is clearly of the same opinion. Back in
September 1981 (sic) he was already saying that
"thousands of people will be on the march... but this
time it will be different from Brokdorf (the anti-nuclear
energy demonstrations), because these people will be up
against military personnel with orders to shoot." But, a
high purpose justifies sacrifices.

At the Hannover church conference, Albertz said that
"the openly announced scenarios of mass destruction
(by means of NATO missiles) go beyond the crimes of
Hitler." All norms of law, he claimed, were reduced to
nothing in the face of such things. Recently, Albertz
remarked that "certain paragraphs in today's civil law
originated with the former dictator-state" (a reference to
the old Prussian state), with respect to the discussion in

the peace movement about non-violence and the princi-
ple of law.

Another high EKD functionary and Federal Judge,
Helmut Simon, also gained notoriety for his perversion
of the concept of law, when he attempted to derive a
constitutionally founded right to resistance out of his re-
jection of NATO armament resolutions. In 1978, at the
Evangelical Academy in Tutzing, Simon had criticized
the anti-terrorist laws, and warned against "overreac-
ting" for the purpose of protecting the democratic state.
Then in 1982 at a seminar at the Evangelical Academy
in Bad Boll, he developed the idea of a "consultative
popular referendum" on the stationing of missiles.

Once arguments are made on the basis of the alleged
discrepancy between "legality" and "legitimacy", be-
tween "public opinion" and the text of the law, the
ultimate aim is the justification of illegal acts, which are
consciously expected and planned by the representatives
of the EKD in the course of the coming Hot Autumn. In
fact, the personal connections of the EKD represen-
tatives range well into the violent and pro-terrorist spec-
trum of the peace movement. In the ESG in Hamburg,
for example, meetings with representatives of the
"autonomous" peace groups take place on a weekly
basis; a few weeks ago, in the course of a discussion on
the question of violence, a vote occurred which deter-
mined that "we want to be the water in which the violent
fish swim."

The leader of the ESG in Mainz, Pastor Michael
Arndt, participated in a meeting in the beginning of July
on the sabotage of NATO munitions transport where
representatives from the entire Federal Republic discuss-
ed their experiences in espionage or attacks against muni-
tions ships and bomb-transport trains, and where Eed
Army Fraktion veteran Margit Schiller was personally
present. A strategy paper presented at this meeting on
the question of how supplies to NATO troops could be
cut off was possibly co-authored by Eudolf Rabe,
recently suspected to be an activist of the Revolutionary
Cells. In September 1982, Pastor Arndt was arrested as
he was driving in a car together with Rabe and Stemmler.

The Committee for Basic Rights and
Democracy

This organization, founded in 1980, and represented in
the Coordinating Committee by Klaus Vack, has a
crucial function within the peace movement, with respect
to the previously discussed juridical justification of alleg-
ed resistance actions. Among the supporters of a call of
the Committee protesting a court proceeding against at-
torney Hardle, imprisoned in 1981 for violation of state
security laws, are: Pastor Heinrich Albertz, Walter
Dirks, Ingeborg Drewitz, Ossip K. Flechtheim, Helmut
Gollwitzer, attorney Heinrich Hannover, attorney
Holtfort, Robert Jungk, Jo Leinen, Wolf Dieter Narr,
Oskar Negt, Ulrich Preuss, Helmut Ridder (Krefeld Ap-
peal), Jtirgen Seifert, Johanno Strasser, Klaus Traube,
Michael Vester, etc.

Berlin University teacher Wolf Dieter Nan-,
spokesman of the Committee, is also a supporter of the
Netzwerk Selbsthilfe e.V. ("Network Self-Help"), one
of the important coordination centers for alternative
groups, newspapers, and for the house-occupation
scene. In 1981, around the occasion of the TUWAT
Conference in Berlin, Narr voiced the idea that the death
of a demonstrator in a house-occupation demonstration
could act as a "signal" to activate the entire movement.
Shortly thereafter, one demonstrator, Klaus Jiirgen Rat-
tay, was injured by a bus in one of the clashes and died.
The Committee for Basic Rights, in a letter to the Berlin
Senator for the Interior (called "like the Fuhrer" in the
letter) blamed the Senator of the Interior for the death.
As is known, numerous clashes then followed the death
of Rattay in many cities of the Federal Republic.

The Committee for Basic Rights and Democracy also
originated the draft of a petition to the German
Bundestag to permit a consultative popular referendum
on the issue of the stationing of missiles. This proposal
is interesting for two reasons: first, the introduction of
such a plebicitary element would infringe upon a fun-
damental aspect of constitutionality, with very damaging
potential political consequences; secondly, such a
referendum, whatever the result, would merely justify
the actions of the peace movement. In a discussion paper
presented to the international peace conference May 9-14
in Berlin, the same theme was addressed in the following
way: "Even if a popular referendum turned out
negatively for us, it will have broadened our ranks and
can contribute legitimacy and weight to the actions of
civil disobedience that then become necessary. We would
be able to appeal to the fact that we had exhausted all
so-called legal means before turning to actions of non-
violent resistance, which will then be necessary."

Reference is then made to Article 20. (4) of the Basic
Law which gives every citizen the right to resist, insofar
as the constitution is threatened and all legal means to
avert the danger have been exhausted. The fact,
however, is that the danger to the constitution comes
from the pacifists themselves, in that the constitution is
arbitrarily interpreted and the attempt is made to change

cesses, the presentation refers to the "appropriateness of
the means," and recently a Stuttgart court went so far as
to distinguish between "illegal" and "morally
untenable" actions. The jurist E. Kuchenhoff, who
argues in the same direction, sees the serious violation of
laws and constitutional norms as justified if the issue is
the alleged preservation of the constitution. Or, Pro-
fessor Daubler: "Passive violence (whatever that may
be) is not morally reprehensible when the issue is to alter
an anti-constitutional condition."

The "Autonomous" Groups

These groups, represented in the Coordinating Commit-
tee as the "Federal Congress of Development Policy Ac-
tion Groups" (Professor Masserat), the "Federal Con-
gress of Autonomous Peace Initiatives" (BAF) and the
"Federation of Groups for Non- Violent Activities," are
the ones that least hide the character of their actions.
"Our means are blockades and sabotage actions, with
which we close down sites of missiles and cut off supply
routes," says one of their discussion papers.

As the President of the Verfassungsschutz (Office for
Protection of the Constitution) Hellenbroich said recent-
ly in a television interview, the autonomous groups pride
themselves on having concluded the observation phase,
and are now in possession of a complete plan of routes
of munitions trains. There are, additionally, munitions
boats, and precise observation of the planned sites for
stationing of the missiles themselves. "Peace camps" are
already occurring throughout the Federal Republic, in
which "non-violent" action is taught and organized ac-
tivities for espionage of military facilities and maneuvers
in the vicinity of the camps are conducted. The essential
function of these camps, which otherwise regrettably re-
mind one of the youth movement of the 1920s, is of
course the "strategic dicussion," which often takes on
the form of group-dynamics psycho-sessions to condi-
tion hesitant pacifists to the coming actions. According
to press reports, a good 15,000 pacifists will be processed
through such camps this summer. In northern Germany
in particular, a comprehensive information network is

press" also mentions the U.S. garrison in Garlstedt,
kaserns of the Bundeswehr and 5-6 nuclear missile sites.
In Rheinland Pfalz, former sites of Nike-Hercules
missiles in Wuschheim (Hunsriick) and Quir-
nheim/Griinstadt near Bad Diirkheim have been cited as
stationing sites for Cruise Missiles, using a handbook
published by Alfred Mechtersheimer ("Storage and
Transportation of Nuclear Weapons"). Numerous
military facilities, especially in Hunsriick, have been
observed and photographed. Observations included the
form, strength and behavior of security personnel. A
legal suit is currently in process (which may go to the
Federal Attorney's Office) against the newspaper Hun-
sruckforum, which published photographs of the
facilities. Five hundred women of a "Resistance Camp"
in Reckershausen managed a few weeks ago to break
open the gate of a military facility after overcoming the
security fence. They went into the military facility, and
"occupied" it temporarily.

At the already-mentioned nationwide meeting against
munitions transportation, which took place at the begin-
ning of July in the offices of the ESG in Mainz, various
reports were made of successful observations and actions
in Bremen and Dorsten. The strategy-debate that was
conducted here leaves no doubt as to the intentions of
the participants, who despise the official peace move-
ment as "demonstration visitors corrupted by the SPD."
The discussion paper presented there develops a strategy
for partisan- warfare-like maneuvers:

"Cutting off supply lines, in terms of military
categories (and this is the issue of transportation) is a
classical goal for an army to initiate the political and
military defeat of the adversary. The unfortunately
necessary military considerations signify the political de-
mand that U.S. troops be withdrawn from the Federal
Republic of Germany."

"In order to become a real political force, it is
necessary to come to terms with the entirety of the
political and military strategy, and significance of
NATO, to search out the vulnerabilities against which we
can develop a continuous and self-determined attack."
One must "make an issue out of and attack the entire
military apparatus and its function."

"We believe that it is possible for us to develop a prac-
tical resistance against munitions transportation, because
we will not be up against militarily secured facilities, but
rather we attack precisely where we can set obstacles to
something and throw sand in the machinery. It is far
more difficult for the U.S. Army and the security ap-
paratus of the Federal Republic to secure all military
transports, than to keep a watch on individual depots
and facilities. It must, however, be clear to us just what
kind of a confrontation we are getting into, and what it
means for our campaign."

The most important consequences are "the collection
and completion of our information about the entire
military infrastructure, in order... to make it possible to
see through those structures" and "to take the coming
stocking-up of the depots in the context of the wartime

host nation support program as the starting point for
direct prevention of the transports."

Similarly, the organizers in Nordenham claim that this
will be the site for Autumn actions "which will constitute
a signal against imperialism that cannot be overlooked."
In a speech at the northern German Coordinating Con-
ference, published in the "Atom Express" from Gdt-
tingen, it is argued that there should be no demonstra-
tion in Hamburg on October 22, as the "moderate"
peace movement demands, but rather in
Bremerhaven/Nordenham, in order to seek a direct con-
frontation there:

"One possible route of the stationing is over the
Unterweser. We can prove that nuclear warheads are
continuously landed via Nordenham. . .This site can
become a symbol for the peace movement, similar to the
Startbahn West (Frankfurt Airport runway), or
Brokdorf (site of a nuclear energy plant) for the Anti-
Nuclear Energy Movement... If NATO seriously goes
ahead with the stationing, then we will get serious with
our resistance. NATO is serious. NATO is deadly
serious."

Objections within the autonomous groups to the
planned actions are based merely on tactical targetting
disagreements. With the same criteria, as reported from
circles of the Verfassungsschutz, Revolutionary Cell
groups discuss what would happen if a munitions
transport train were exploded, and how Germans might
be protected in the action.

There is allegedly a new evaluations paper in circula-
tion, dealing with the action in Krefeld, where for the
first time there was a direct attack against a security con-
voy. This paper also reports on a discussion which occur-
red in August between autonomous groups and Palesti-
nians, who offered valuable advice.

The Verfassungsschutz fears that terrorist groups will
attempt to "smuggle themselves" into the campaign
against NATO armaments. A Revolutionary Cell-like
group by the name of "Autumn Beginning" (Herbstan-
fang) took responsibility for the bomb attack against the
U.S. Officers Club in Hahn in Hunsriick a few weeks
ago. The letter confessing responsibility refers to the 38th
anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
and demands to "bring together the various initiatives
for resistance in the BRD."

It would be a fatal mistake to overlook the fact that
the militant peace movement has already become a part
of the pro-terrorist scene, and, as the interfaces described
above show, are consciously tolerated by the
"moderate" or "orthodox" peace movement.

BEYOND THE HOT AUTUMN

At the end of last year, there were a whole series of bomb
attacks against American housing areas, private cars of
American soldiers, etc. "Peace researcher" Alfred
Mechtersheimer has commented on these attacks in the
Tageszeitung: "Everyone must know that the attacks
upon American soldiers, which one must naturally con-

10

demn, are the beginning of a protest against foreign
domination."

This statement is one of many examples of what the
issue for the peace movement really is. Foreign domina-
tion, or NATO domination, as Dorothee Solle says, is to
be shaken off and replaced with the "security partner-
ship" with the DDR. The various proposals for a
"nuclear free zone" through Europe between the blocs
go in the same direction. What the various groups have
in common in conception— from the national-
revolutionary, or "conservative revolutionary" notions
of Armin Mohler up to the ultra-left Alternative List in
Berlin— is the vision of a "Mittel Europa" (Central
Europe) decoupled from the two superpowers, in whose
center there would stand a re-unified, neutralized
Germany.

In the opinion of Alfred Mechtersheimer, Chancellor
Helmut Kohl assumed in his last speech on the "State of
the Nation" "the way of thinking of Egon Bahr." Just
a few months ago, every member of the Christian
Democratic Union would have rejected such a claim in

outrage. Even after the recent maneuvers of Franz Josef
Strauss, the outrage is still to come.

Countess Marion Donhoff's Die Zeit, which features
ex-Chancellor Helmut Schmidt as co-publisher, suspects
that behind the peace movement there is a "discomfort
about the western culture, whose richness guarantees no
spiritual well-being; a critique of that civilization with its
destruction of nature and its soul of weapons; that in-
determinate feeling that a fundamental change is
necessary in basic human values."

Alfred Mechtersheimer, who has twice travelled
together with other pacifists, greenies and separatists to
Colonel Qaddafi, the behind-the-scenes leader of the
European "peace movements," also demands that there
be an "opening toward non-western impulses."

Who profits from a republic which is destabilized
from the inside and— as one journalist formulated the
point recently— where "people stormily demonstrate,"
and which is disarmed by cutting itself loose from the
western defense alliance?

Case Studies

1 Drei Lander Eck/Alemanen Tribe

Profile

According to West German police sources monitoring
the activities of the Revolutionary Cells and the Rote
Armee Fraktion (RAF), a major terrorist buildup is go-
ing on in the Stuttgart/Karlsruhe area. Probable targets
include the U.S./NATO military presence in Baden
Wurttemberg, including the Stuttgart EUCOM, the
European Unified Command. This buildup includes
developing safehousing, smuggling, and communica-
tions for terrorist support utilizing crossings of the con-
verging borders of Switzerland, West Germany, and
France. The area, called Drei Lander Eck by the
regionalist scene, includes Karlsruhe and Stuttgart on the
north, up the banks of the Rhein including Strasburg to
Mulhouse on the French side and Freiburg, and Basel
and Zurich in northern Switzerland. The pretence for a
"regional consciousness" is the alleged common tribal
stock dating from the settling of the Alemanen tribes in
this area from 300 to 500 A.D. and the Alemannisch
dialect. Cultish attachments to this feudal identity have
always provided a fertile ground for subversion against
the stability of the nation state. Both neo-Nazi and left
groups utilize this tribalism in their propaganda. The
Hapsburgian family line originates out of Alsace, which
explains the prominence of appendages of Otto von
Hapsburg in the regionalist and autonomist movements
throughout Europe.

Following are the organizations and personnages mak-
ing this area one of the chief terrorist support centers in
Europe:

Radio Dreyeckland

This network of about 6 editorial staffs with several il-
legal broadcasting stations grew out of the 1977-78 anti-

nilflAar Viat+loc nf XHTtrM on/) T}a

T+ f, *:

which included neo-Nazi groups as well as leftists. The
Freiburg center is Der Freundeskreis Radio Dreyeckland,
at the Fabrik, Hapsburgerstr. 9.

Black Wolves/EIsass-Lothringen Volksbund

The Black Wolves is a terrorist cell made up of former
Hitler Jugend members from Elsass that conducted
bombings against "French imperialist" targets between
1976 and 1981 on the South Tyrol model. Prosecuted in
the Mulhouse courts in 1982, the group was defended by
a key advisor to the Elsass-Lothringen Volksbund,
Pierre Zind, author of Elsass-Lothringen— The Forbid-
den Nation. Head of this autonomist Volksbund is Fer-
dinand Mosehenross who is a collaborater of Dr. Iffrig
who fled to Africa because of war-time Nazi associa-
tions. Moschenross supports the anti-nuclear movement
in Drei Lander Eck saying nuclear energy leads to a cen-
tralized police state. Via the group Defense and Promo-
tion of the French Languages of Marcel Texier the
Volksbund coordinates with separatists and autonomists
in Occitan, Breton, Catalonia, Corsica, and the Basque
(Texier coordinates with the Barcelona CEEMEN). They
characterize the French nation as a colonial power which
they intend to neutralize via separatist conflicts.

Further defenders of the Black Wolves include the
Rene Schickele Circle in Strasburg and the publication
Der Westen of the Society of Friends and Promoters of
the Erwin Von Steinbach Foundation of Filderstadt and
Stuttgart. Westen poses the question whether Elsass-
Lothringen wouldn't have won concessions from the
Paris government, like the Corsicans, if the Black
Wolves were able to continue their bombing spree. Dur-
ing the war Hitler's Gauleiter for Elsass, Robert Wagner,
recruited the head of the autonomists, H. Bickler, to
help form an SS division.

Hoffmann-LaRoche and Sandoz, and the Paris Institute
for Agronomy of Club of Rome member Rene Dumont.

Longo Mai is a series of "back-to-nature" communes
stretching from southern France, through Switzerland to
the Carinthia region of Austria. It was founded out of
the Trotskyist Spartakus youth organisation Hydra.
Members of Hydra were implicated in the Basel
Bandlisstrasse weapons smuggling service for the Rote
Armee Fraktion. Leader of the Basel office is Gotthard
Klingler, the Carinthia commune Nicholas Busch, and
the French, Roland Perrot and Francois Bouchardeau.
Perrot has been denied visas to Switzerland on grounds
of potential involvement with weapons smuggling.
Bouchardeau is son of the current French Environment
minister. Nicholas Bell, who operates out of the southern
France Forcalquier commune and Basel, is currently
organizing a defense campaign for Turkish terrorists and
Kurdish separatists. Longo Mai runs an operation in
Costa Rica that works closely with Central American
guerrilla groups.

Zurich

In October of 1977 the body of West German industry
leader Hans Martin Schleyer was found in a car near
Mulhouse, killed by his RAF kidnappers. During the
RAF's 1977 terror wave the Drei Land Ecke was a major
logistics area for their international operations. At this
time Longo Mai members were stopped frequently at the
borders; on one occasion, they were caught carrying a
large sum of money. Remy Perrot spoke at a large

meeting in Paris protesting the West German extradition
request for Klaus Croissant, an RAF member and lawyer
known for his contacts with the Zurich terrorist scene.
According to American sources, Longo Mai came up in
a 1983 Interpol hunt for RAF member Susanne
Albrecht. Longo Mai possesses significant capacity for
communication and safehousing from Frankfurt to
Switzerland and Paris. According to AEP, a French anti-
Longo Mai group, the head of Editions Longo Mai was
an SS officer.

Bellini is a top-level international terrorist controller who
in 1974 was responsible editor for the publication
Klassenkampf that published articles promoting the
RAF, Red Brigades, and Autonimisti. He ran the Inter-
national Department for Potere Operaio in Zurich. In
1975 he was arrested in connection with the "Zurich
Anarchists" of Petra Krause. He had in his possession a
key to a train station locker with weapons in it. In 1979,
Bellini was charged by the Italian authorities with sup-
porting the Red Brigades. He has lent his help and pen
to the Swiss terrorist publications Tell and Eisbecher.
Bellini works closely with the Soviet-controlled Interna-
tional Association of Democratic Lawyers member Ber-
nard Rambert and his partner Kistler who travel weekly
between Zurich, Paris, Vienna, Italy, and Bulgaria. This
terrorist lawyers circle includes Jacques Verges, Spazzali,
and Klaus Croissant. Bellini is also active, like the Longo
Mai people, in ongoing support work for Turkish
terrorists.

Bulgarian Connection

According to Mulhouse Judge Sengelin, Switzerland and
Elsass are command centers and crossroads for an inter-
national cigarette-smuggling network that also handles
weapons and drugs. Basel is a major transshipment point
with Swiss law not acknowledging the illegality of smug-
gling. The East Germans and Bulgarians are heavily in-
volved as well as certain Western intelligence agencies.
According to Judge Sengelin the Basque ETA terrorists
control the southern France/Spanish side of the smuggl-
ing. In the Munich area old Nazis are involved. Austrian
businessman Meinhold Kurz, who operates out of a Basel
company WEFA A.G. is involved with Yugoslavian
political police connections via his procurist Brancho
Stimac. Stimac is reported to have ties into the Longo
Mai commune in Carinthia. Longo Mai has involved
itself with the Slovenian minority in this area along with
Tfaeodor Veiter of Europa Ethnica.

Full Name: Centre International Escarre per a les
Minories Etniques i Nacionals. This is Catalan for Inter-
national Escarre Center for Ethnic and National
Minorities. Dom Aureli Escarre was the Abbot of the
Catalan Abbey of Montserrat (Benedictine) until he was
recalled by the Vatican for pro-separatist tendencies in
1965.

President: Felip Sole y Sabaris

Secretary General: Angel Colom

Secretary: Aureli Argemi

Profile

Founded 1975 in order, according to its promoters, to
"increase the consciousness of those peoples and ethnic
minorities deprived of a state, which are threatened in
their continuity as a nation" (El Pais, August 7, 1983).
In fact, the CIEMEN maintains contact with at least
the following ethnic minorities and associations:

KURDS Angel Colom travelled to Kurdistan (Iran)
late 1982, stayed there for three months. On his return,
founded Catalano-Kurdish Friendship Society in
Barcelona. Violent incidents between Iraqi embassy of-
ficials and Kurds at a CIEMEN-sponsored meeting in
Barcelona in April, 1983. Kurds participate in anti-
NATO CIEMEN meeting August, 1983 at Sant Miquel.

ARMENIANS In private conversations, Aureli
Argemi strongly supported the Armenian cause.

CELTS The CIEMEN maintains an extensive net-
work of contacts in French Brittany, British Wales,
Spanish Galicia and Ireland (Sinn Fein) under the pretext
of preserving the Celtic language. Aureli Argemi par-

speak an Italian dialect called Genoese and Argemi is
working to "normalize" the various sub-dialects into a
"national" language.

SARDINIANS Argemi is working on a similar
linguistic project for Sardinia. Members of the Partito
Sarda d'Azzione (PSA) were invited to the anti-NATO
seminar this month at Sant Miquel. One member of the
PSA was recently arrested by Judge Marchetti in Corsica
for links to Qadaffi and pro-terrorist activities.

Friuli in Italy, Eritrea in Ethiopia, Vail d'Aoste in Ita-
ly, French and Belgian Flanders and Yugoslavian
Slovenia are also subjects of the attention of the
CIEMEN. On March 3, 1983, for example, a CIEMEN
delegation visited Kosovo in Yugoslavia, Wales, Ireland
and Belgium to gather "linguistic information" to create
a "world studies center of nationalities" according to
Argemi.

EUSKADI (Basque country) The CIEMEN has
always and unequivocally supported the ETA terrorist
group as a "national liberation movement". See for ex-
ample, their official minutes of the meeting at Sant Mi-
quel de Cuixa in August, 1978, published in Nationalia
by the Abbey of Montserrat (near Barcelona) in 1979.
Furthermore, as CIEMEN guest G. Jauregui states in
Nationalia, this includes both South and North Euskadi,
that is, France as well as Spain.

Members of Herri Batasuna (the political front group
of ETA in Spain) have attended every congress of the
CIEMEN. A large number of HB members have been
arrested since 1977 for participation in acts of violence
in Euskadi.

OCCITANIA The CIEMEN fully supports the pro-
gram of Volem Viure al Pais ("We wish to remain in our
land"), a separatist group operating in several French
provinces south of the Loire, generically called Pro-
vence. The term Occitania, and the idea of an Occitanian
state separate from France, was coined by a Benedictine
monk in the XVII century.

Volem Viure al Pais has demanded the withdrawal of
all French troops from Occitanian soil, the return to a

15

Catalan government was obliged to withdraw its sup-
port, as did the Socialist Party.

Financing

As mentioned above, the CIEMEN collaborates with
several movements like the Sardinian and Corsican, the
Kurdish and the Eritreans, which we have documented
elsewhere as financed by Libyan dictator Qadaffi. This
of course points to a direct KGB connection. The
CIEMEN also receives money (see above) from the
Catalan government and has access to funds of the
Benedictine order internationally (see below).

On August 7, 1983, Felip Sole, the CIEMEN's presi-
dent told El Pais Catalan edition (El Pais is the largest-
circulation daily in Spain), that accusations launched by
EIR and Nouvelle Solidarity of Libyan funding were
outrageous, that the CIEMEN is financed by its 400
members, and that he would place himself at the disposal
of any and all to open the books and show names and
details proving there is no foreign financing. So far, the
CIEMEN has not done this.

Criminal Record

In June, 1972, Josep Villol and Raimon Civil, monks at
Sant Miquel de Cuixa, were forbidden to live in any
French province bordering Spain. According to Le
Monde, the French daily, dated June 1, 1972, "hospitali-
ty carries risks with it, and it is likely that monks at Sant
Miquel de Cuixa served as asylum-givers to clandestine
political refugees..." A third monk had his residence
permit cut by the French authorities from 3 years to 3
months. Le Monde comments that Sant Miquel de Cuixa
monks were on the blacklist of the Spanish internal
security police.

They were unfortunately allowed to return in
February 1973.

Between 1963 and 1965, the abbot of Montserrat,
Aureli Escarre, spiritual father of the CIEMEN, was
supporting separatism so openly in Catalonia that the
Vatican recalled him. In an interview to Le Monde in
November, 1963, he openly and strongly defended ETA.

On arriving in exile in Milan, his first move was to give
an interview to the communist newspaper L'Unita. On
November 16, 1965, the Vatican forbade the monks at
Montserrat to continue teaching philosophy and
theology due to their pro-separatist stand.

History

The history of the CIEMEN is inextricably linked to that
of the Benedictines. Catalonia since the ninth century
has been a major power base for the order in the
Mediterranean area. The Benedictines come from the
same anachorite and hermit-cult movements in Alexan-
dria (Egypt) in the second and third century, which laun-
ched the Orthodox center of Mount Athos. They have
always maintained the closest relations to Mount Athos,
and to Russian Orthodoxy in general. They introduced

the feudal system wherever they went. Basically, they are
an oriental, pre-christian cult formation, opposed to the
Roman Church and the filioque doctrine, and to the
creation of secular nation-states, as their vitriolic opposi-
tion to Charlemagne indicates.

There are Benedictine abbeys in every area of
separatist-terrorist activities. It is no accident that LIcio
Gelli, grandmaster of the Propaganda 2 lodge, was a
habitue of the Benedictine monastery of St. Honorat, off
Cannes (77 Giomale, August 20, 1983).

Montserrat was where Ignacio de Loyola, founder of
the Jesuit order, received his early training in 1522 and
1525. Basque separatism is thus an outgrowth of
Benedictine Catalan separatism.

Returning to more modern times, as soon as Dom
Aureli Escarre, exiled abbot of Montserrat, arrrived in
Milan in 1965, he took contact with Feltrinelli, the
Italian radical publisher whom we have documented
elsewhere to be an instrument of the KGB until his
murder. Escarre also maintained close relations with
Lelio Basso and his son Pietro, founders of the Lelio
Basso Foundation, which was in fact created at the Ab-
bey of Montserrat. This foundation is known to be
Libyan-financed, and Basso was at the origin of the
Italo-Libyan friendship society. Aureli Argemi, present
master of Sant Miquel de Cuixa and Secretary of the
CIEMEN of which he is the main thinker, was the per-
sonal secretary of Escarre and responsible for relations
with Feltrinelli and Basso.

During the Milan period, Escarre and Argemi created
a whole new range of separatist contacts in Vail d' Aoste,
Friuli, Sardinia and so on, consolidating the Libyan con-
nection. In 1965, a group of "dissident monks" left
Montserrat, and moved a few dozen kilometers to Sant
Miquel de Cuixa, just over the Franco-Spanish border on
the French side. This abbey has outbuildings able to
house about 200 people, and accusations by Spanish
police that ETA and GRAPO terrorists have been
safehoused there are numerous. The CIEMEN was not
officially founded however until 1975, that is until the
death of Franco.

On August 5, 1983, the Diario de Barcelona published
a long article concerning allegations launched by EIR
and Nouvelle Solidarite against the CIEMEN. The
following day, the same newspaper, linked to the pro-
terrorist Berliner Tageszeitung, had succeeded in
organizing virtually overnight an indignant support com-
mittee for the CIEMEN, including about 15 organiza-
tions and individuals. Among these: the international
president of Pax Romana, Felix Marti; the Club Arnau
de Villanova, headed by Basque pro-terrorist
"sociologist" JX. Aranguren; and the Seminari de
Sociolinguistica.

The latest activity of the CIEMEN was a seminar
organized between August 16 and August 22, 1983, to
coordinate regional separatist movements with the
ecologist-terrorist movements in preparation for the
"hot autumn" and the installation of the Pershing
missiles. Military expert Captain Pitarcn of Valencia was
present to direct the "military operations" side of the

16

mass riots these small groups are expected to touch off
against NATO. Present at the seminar were French and
Spanish Catalans, French Occitanians, Bretons, Scots,
Corsicans, Sardinians, Friullians, Galicians, Basques,
Flemish, Slovenians, Eritreans, Kurds

Ideology

The CIEMEN uses left-wing anti-capitalist, anti-
imperialist jargon. Programs they support, such as
Volem Viure al Pais, are always feudal in structure and
content. They do not hesitate to call on explicitly fascist
writers such as Rovira y Virgili, a Catalan historian who
died in 1949 and was the author of the first attempt to
cast a "race theory" for Catalonia, in support of their
thesis.

Using the spurious argument that virtually every
linguistic group is also a racial group and therefore has
a right to its own "nation", they have launched projects
for the "normalization" of Corsican, Sardinian, etc.
dialects and linguistics studies of regions like Quebec
(Canada). These linguistic divisions oddly enough cor-
respond to the tribes of pre-Charlemagne Europe, as we
detail in the linguistic section of this report. Aureli
Argemi himself is a linguist and specializes in Quebec,
Corsica and Sardinia. Feeding on legitimate grievances,
such as Franco's repression of the Catalan language and
culture, they have taken these grievances and turned
them into mass psychosis.

With its socialist jargon and nazi-racialist ideas, the
CIEMEN could best be shortly defined as "national
bolshevist", and relies on support networks such as the
Mainz-based Wir Selbst which are precisely that.

movement associated with George Ball.

Prof. Stanley Diamond: an anthropologist at the New
School for Social Research in New York City. As a com-
mitted anarchist, Diamond is a proponent of "dialectical
anthropology." He has done extensive work on the role
of dialects and has studied the separatist movements of
the Basques, Bretons and Welsh. While working at the
Free University in Berlin, he was recruited to the GfbV.

director of the Evangelischen Akademie, Hamburg.

Two separatist theorists have played a central role in
directing the activities of the Gesellschaft fur Bedrohte
Vblker: Prof. Henning Eichberg and the Jesuit Ivan
Illich.

Prof. Henning Eichberg is an avowed "universal
fascist" who operates under cover of a sports historian
at a Danish university. He likes to encapsulate his ideas
in the slogan, "Balkanization for everyone." As a
leading fascist theorist, Eichberg's theory centers on the
unification of the environmentalist movement's shock
troops with the terrorist capabilities of the separatist
movements. The Basque ETA terrorists are presented as
a successful model for this strategy, having crippled
nuclear energy development in Spain through the
assassination of a number of technicians and the bomb-
ing of nuclear industry facilities.

Eichberg projects that the increasing power of this
fascist combination will nullify the influence of the

superpowers and rework the map of the globe. He is a
regular contributor to Wir Selbst.

In the mid-1970s, Eichberg collaborated with Father
Nikolas Artemoff , presently a priest for the Russian Or-
thodox Church in Bavaria. He is an operative for the
KGB controlled National Alliance of Solidarists (NTS),
a White Russian grouping that fought on the side of
Hitler and was implicated in the assassination of Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy. In the early 1970s Artemoff and
Eichberg collaborated in publishing the European
Solidarist Bulletin.

In 1978, in his quest to unite left and right, Eichberg
engaged Mudi Dutschke, the German anarchist, in a
published dialogue. The result of the dialogue was a
book by Peter Brandt, son of Willy Brandt, leader of the
Socialist International. The book titled The Left and the
National Question is a study of how to integrate the two
extremes.

Eichberg has stated that his ideas are the result of the
combined influence of "New Right" theorist Armin
Mohler, author of the Conservative Revolution and head
of the Siemen's Stiftung, the Nazi Strasser brothers, and
Qaddafi's Green Book. Eichberg also maintains contact
with groups such as the Italian Europa Civita and the
German Nation Europa. Both organizations are af-
filiated with the Nazi International.

Ivan Illich is a former Jesuit sociologist and Latin
American terrorist controller, presently working out of
Berlin and Cuernavaca, Mexico, doing studies on
dialects with funding from the Aspen Institute. In the
U.S., the Aspen Institute is a major runner of en-
vironmentalist projects. Through the joint work of Illich
and Zuelch, Illich exerts a controlling influence over the
separatist terror networks.

In June 1961, Illich established a "dynamic group
therapy" center in Mexico. Through this center passed
many of today's Central American "revolutionary"
leaders. The operation, known as the Centro Inter-
cultural de Documentacidn (CEDOC), spearheaded the
creation of "liberation theology."

Illich's militant activities led to his censure by the
Vatican. The Church's investigation included looking in-
to Illich's ties to Guatemalan terrorists.

'Action Anthropology" USA

The U.S. -backed network behind international
separatism is composed of social scientists and lawyers
who are adherents of the so-called Action Anthropology
School.

Cultural Survival USA is the corresponding organiza-
tion to the German Society for Endangered Peoples
(Gesellschaft fur Bedrohte Volker). It is an international
operation of some 3500 anthropologists supporting the
rights of ethnic minority and separatist movements. This
group sponsors projects throughout the Third World

with special emphasis on Latin America, and interfaces
the American Indian Movement. Funding for Cultural
Survival comes from the Ford Foundation, human rights
money from A.I.D. (Agency for International Develop-
ment) and from private contributors.
Cultural Survival USA's board of directors includes:
Her Majesty Queen Margarethe of Denmark. As
honorary member her name is found at the top of
Cultural Survival's letterhead. In the United Nations, the
Danish delegation is the most outspoken advocate of in-
digenous people's and separatist movements.

America.

ARC maintains regular contact and coordinates ac-
tivities with the diplomatic arm of the separatist
movement — the International Indian Treaty Council, as
well as with the Akwesasne Notes network of John
Mohawk.

ARC also directs the U.S.-based support apparatus

Profile

Wir Seibst is a journal of "national revolutionaries"
propagandizing the cause of separatist terrorist
movements. Wir Seibst members reject any label of left-
wing or rightwing. In fact, they are "universal fascists"
believing in a Nazi-Communist conception of "small na-
tions." Independence for Corsica, Euskadi (Basque),
Sardinia, etc. through the use of armed violence is
advocated.

A map of Bublies' network demonstrates how the
peace movement and separatist-terror groups intersect.

Evangelische Studenten Gemeinde (ESG): Pastor
Michael Arndt, director of the ESG in Mainz hosted the
July meeting of "autonomous" street-fighting groups
from across Germany. Two hundred and fifty people at-
tended to plan strategies of sabotage against military
transport units. Margit Schiller, convicted RAF member
was also in attendance.

Bublies has stated that he maintains contact with the
ESG and Pastor Arndt, who has sponsored seminars on
regionalism and autonomy at his center.

Alternative Liste (Berlin): Lutheran theologian and
peace movement guru Helmut Gollwitzer and "left-
nationalist" Peter Brandt, son of Willy Brandt, direct
this network. Bublies has "very good" relations with this
network which "shows how left and right can build a
bridge."

Gesellschaft fur Bedrohte Volker (GfBV) and Amnes-
ty International maintain active relations with both
organizations.

Profile

Under Mr. Witsi's direction, the Danish Institute
manages the northern tier of the "Mitteleuropa" net-

20

work. Among the anti-nation state groupings there are
tactical distinctions between those that advocate
regionalism, autonomy, and separatism. The Danish In-
stitute advocates decentralization leading to a "Europe
of Regions" and points to the Swiss cantonal system as
a model. The Institute sponsors yearly conferences at-
tended by regional government officials, autonomy ac-
tivists, and monarchists. In September 1978, the
Copenhagen Declaration expressing the political pro-
gram of this network states, "The political organization
of Europe into regions is the condition for a harmonious
and peaceful development of its people."

The location of the Institute in Copenhagen is not ac-
cidental. The Danish monarchy under the direction of
Queen Margarethe is, along with Libya, a leading ad-
vocate of "ethnic minority rights" in international in-
stitutions such as the United Nations or the European
Parliament.

These regional autonomy activists present a forceful
political blackmail line. They state that until full
autonomy is given to Corsica, Brittany, Euskadi (Bas-
que) et al, the terrorist violence for separatism will con-
tinue. The recent policy of decentralization of France
under Mitterrand, hailed as a victory by the Institute,

demonstrates the disaster such capitulation creates. The
FNLC responded to Mitterrand's initiative by commit-
ting themselves to "enlarge the armed struggle for the in-
dependence of Corsica." This is a lesson to be learned by
the Spanish government which is constantly battered
with the same charge by networks of the Trilateral Com-
mission that the violence continues because the Basque
has not been given full autonomy.

Professor C. Northcote Parkinson, former honorary
chairman of the "Europe of Regions" at the Sixth Con-
vention of the Institute most clearly expressed a
worldview that most certainly supports the separatist ter-
rorist. He stated, "Units of civilized administration
come in four sizes: Empires, like the Soviet Union; Na-
tions, like Spain; Provinces, like Texas; and City States,
like Singapore. In the 19th and 20th centuries all em-
phasis has been laid on the Nation... But the Nation has
largely outlived its purpose in Europe. It came into ex-
istence for the purpose of war but we have agreed that
further war in Europe would be highly undesirable. Our
emphasis should be upon Europe considered as an Em-
pire and upon its several provinces or regions." Petra
Kelly and Qaddafi would be most happy with such a
formulation— "Stop War, Smash the Nation State."

VII Armenian Terrorism

The recent wave of bloody explosions authored by the
Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA)
and the Armenian Revolutionary Army (ARA) in
France, Belgium, Portugal and West Germany has
demonstrated that Armenian terrorism is a joint opera-
tion of the KGB and the Nazi International.

The Soviet connection to the Armenians was
nowhere better expressed than at the second "World
Congress of Armenia" which was held in mid- July in
Lausanne with an attendance of under one hundred in-
dividuals. The Congress, chaired by Swiss-based Arme-

rightwing terrorist group called Operational Comman-
dos for the Defense of Christian and Western Civiliza-
tion (CODECO) which was created in 1976. On August
1st, the CODECO told Agence France Presse (AFP) in
Lisbon that should the Portuguese authorities go on in
their search for ARA members, they would use dioxin
against the population. CODECO is primarily manned
by former members of the Portuguese secret police
PIDE and of the OAS. Colonel Otto Skorzeny and
Gerhard Harmut von Schubert who was the head of the
Nazi Paladin Organization were historical backers of

as a KGB-run terrorist operation. The ASALA was
trained at George Habasn's terrorist training camps
near Beirut prior to the Israeli invasion. The KGB con-
nection is paralleled by connections to the Socialist In-
ternational apparatus, elements of the Anglican
Church/British Intelligence, and the Armenian
Apostolic Church.

To properly understand how this KGB/British in-
telligence interaction functions let us summarize the
history of the Dashnag/Ramgavar split and the
development of the Dashnag. First the Dashnag (Arme-
nian Revolutionary Federation) was formed in 1890 as
a move to unify all the Armenian organizations against
Turkey. At the same time, the Armenian National
Movement was formed as the political-legal arm of the
Dashnag. In 1895, the Dashnag conducted the first
modern act of terrorism on behalf of "national libera-
tion" when it seized the Ottoman Bank of Istanbul.
Dashnag was part of the entire Scottish Rite
Freemasonic apparatus called the "Young Europe
movement" originally created by the leader of the
freemasons Lord Palmerston and his protege Guiseppe
Mazzini, head of the "Young Italy" section. The
Dashnag was a component of the "Young Turk move-
ment" which was dominated by the Scottish Rite. The
Ramgavar (Armenian Democratic Party) is basically a
conservative party which has as its policy a conciliatory
attitude toward Turkey. The Ramgavar does not play a
role in terrorist operations.

The so-called split between the Dashnag and the
ASALA is a complicated question. There is a definite
link between the Dashnag and the ASALA. A member
of the Dashnag, George Yanikian, who launched the
assassinations of Turkish officials in 1973 two years
before the ASALA was formed, was 73 years old when
the attack was carried out. Yanikian killed two Turkish
consular officials in Santa Barbara, California. Top
ASALA officer, Alex Yenikomousgian, who was ar-
rested in October, 1980 in Geneva, Switzerland, was
trained at the Dashnag School in Beirut. His compa-
nion, Suzy Mahserejian, who was arrested with him in
Geneva, was educated at another Dashnag-run institu-
tion, the Ferrahian Armenian High School in Los
Angeles, California.

After the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the ASALA
redeployed their apparatus into Nicosia, Cyprus. The
reorganization of the ASALA operations into Cyprus
was accomplished through a network of Dashnag-
controlled organizations. The Dashnag has an in-depth
infrastructure capability operating through philan-
thropic institutions, diplomatic contacts, banking and
community financial support throughout the Armenian
population. The political arm of the Dashnag, the
Armenian National Movement coordinates the in-
frastructural capabilities, the Armenian General
Benevolent Union, the Armenian Relief Society, and
the Armenian Cultural Association. Most of the financ-
ing and support operation comes from the United
States. In late 1980, a series of clandestine meetings
took place in Paris between the Armenian "establish-

ment" in France and ASALA. An agreement was
reached where any previous differences between the old
Dashnag networks and ASALA were eliminated. The
Dashnag had been reported providing the ASALA with
full covert financial assistance.

The July ASALA bombing of Orly Airport points to
a major KGB, Syrian and Libyan intelligence power
play within Armenian terrorism. At a Spring 1983
meeting in Athens, ASALA leader Hagop Hagopian
purged most French, British and American members
sending into Europe replacements of Turkish, Iranian,
and Lebanese nationality. The time frame is identical
with the "revolt" against and assassinations of
moderate Palestinians by Abu Nidal and Syrian In-
telligence. That the Russians are orchestrating elimina-
tion of moderates in these movements demonstrates
they have no concern for negotiation with the West and
are preparing for a major confrontation. Even Dashnag
stated after Orly that ASALA was in the service of
Soviet and Libyan designs. The ASALA and the recent-
ly reactivated Kurdish operation is designed to
balkanize NATO member Turkey.

The heads of ASALA are Iran Irmian and Hagop
Hagopian (both of which are pseudonyms), and
Zamgocian. They are believed to be in Nicosia, Cyprus.
In Cyprus, the Socialist International head, Lissarides
is a close associate of the Papandreou Greek govern-
ment and the Greek secret service. Papandreou is an
Anglo-KGB operative, functioning in the same fashion
as his father did during the 1930's and 1940's. His
government is currently allowing Soviet planes resup-
plying Qaddafi's Chad adventure to land in Greece.
The Cyprus government, Olof Palme's Swedish govern-
ment and the Greek government provide protection and
unofficial assistance to the ASALA. In December,
1979, a secret meeting of the ASALA took place in
Munich in which George Habash's PFLP organization
and the Greek secret services participated. West Ger-
man counterintelligence authorities knew that this
meeting took place.

The international connections to ASALA are
mediated through Qaddafi's government, pro-
Khomeini networks in the United States, and the
Ramallah Federation — a pro-terrorist foundation run
by a Detroit, Michigan lawyer named Abdeen Jabara.
Jabara is linked to a top-level Armenian controller of
the ASALA, Levon Keshishian. Keshishian is a writer
for the Dashnag's official publication, the Armenian
Weekly, published out of 212 Stewart Street, Boston,
Massachusetts. Keshishian operates out of the United
Nations Plaza in New York City and maintains links to
a variety of intelligence agencies, including the East
Bloc. He is under the protection of Clovis Maksoud,
the present head of the Arab League in the United
States and associate at Georgetown University Center
for Strategic and International Studies. Maksoud, a
Lebanese Christian, is a key figure in protecting and
promoting international terrorism.

In terms of the Armenian Apostolic Church, this can
be characterized as a "heretical sect" which split from

22

the Roman Catholic Church circa 500 A.D. Because of
its ability as a church to maintain operations in Soviet
Armenia, Turkey, Lebanon, Jerusalem and throughout
North America, the Armenian Church plays a major
role in immigration and refugee affairs. It is through
such activities that interfaces with World Council of
Churches and KGB operations are conducted. The
organization which underwrites the financial support
for the Armenian Church is the Geneva-based World
Council of Churches which is dominated by the
Anglican Church and its Eastern Orthodox allies. The
World Council of Churches is one of the central
mainstays of international terrorism. It is used as a fun-
ding conduit for terrorist operations. The Anglican
Church interface is run through the Church of England
Council on Foreign Relations. The British Council of
Churches functions as the intermediary to the World
Council of Churches. The principal funding comes
from the Gulbenkian Foundation based in Lisbon, Por-
tugal. This foundation was set up by Klaus Gulbenkian,
now deceased. Gulbenkian made his huge fortune by
setting up the shipment of Middle East oil during the
1950's.

The Armenian Church is divided into two branches,
the See of Etchmian Dezian and the See of Cilician. The
Armenian National Movement/Dashnag coordinate
the political activity of the Armenian Church. The
Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, Rev. Manuel
Yergatian, was arrested three years ago in Istanbul with
four young boys carrying foreign currency as well as
some documents belonging to a dead priest. Armenian
Patriarch of Istanbul, Archbishop Shnork Kalousian
travels frequently to Germany, France, Switzerland,
Italy, Austria and Great Britain. During his trips to Bri-
tain, Kalousian meets with the Archbishop of Canter-
bury to discuss "repression in Turkey." Karekim II, the
Pope of the Armenian Church spends three months in
Los Angeles, California and London. His family lives
in Toronto, Canada. One of the secret societies within
the Armenian Church is the St. James Brotherhood,
based in Jerusalem.

In the United States, the Armenian Church ap-

bought a huge tract of land in Engelwood, New Jersey,
and is funneling money for terrorist operations into the
Engelwood group.

One of the top operatives for Boghosian and
Maksoud is Avedis Derounian, who was sent by Bogho-
sian to Paris in October, 1980 to make contact with the
Armenian underground and Toranian the head of the
Armenian National Movement. Derounian's trip to
Paris coincided with the reconciliation between the
Dashnag and the ASALA. Representatives of Petros-
sian Caviar Company on Rue de Marbourg were in at-
tendance at this meeting and agreed to finance the
ASALA. Derounian was an operative of a branch of
British intelligence in the United States called the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. There are many
Armenians who play critical espionage roles for both
the Russians and the Anglo-American intelligence ser-
vice in the Middle East and Paris. Soviet Armenians are
placed in key posts in both the London and Paris em-
bassies and some of the leading staff posts at the United
States Embassy in Beirut are filled by Armenians of
Lebanese birth. Many of the top intelligence operatives
of the Seven Sisters oil multinational companies are
Armenians.

One major source of financing for Armenian ter-
rorism comes from a Lebanese- Armenian who operates
two hotels in Geneva. His name is J. Gerbach. Gerbach
regularly provides 25,000 Swiss francs to the ASALA.
Another Geneva-based Lebanese-Armenian is Victor
Chayto who is a diamond dealer. Chayto is a close
associate of Sarkis Soganalian from the state of Florida
(U.S.A.). He was the chief gun runner into Lebanon
during the 1974-75 Lebanese civil war.

The banking connection to Armenian terrorism is
run through the Banque d'Affaire Franco-Arab run by
the Al-Khoury brothers. Linked to the Banque is Baron
Dumast. The heroin connection is known as the
"Shoemaker League." It involved 24 persons, most of
them Armenians who had smuggled heroin valued at
$15 million from Lebanon to Sweden. Leader of the
ring is Kework Vartanian. Second in command is Diram
Zanazanlan who managed a soccer team out of

/~i~_~„i,„

23

was funneling the heroin money into the ASALA
operations in California. The Swedish connection is
protected by Olof Palme's government because
Makhlouf is married to a Swedish woman named Sylvia
Mattsson. Makhlouf was pardoned from armed rob-
bery by Olof Palme's government in 1974.

In France, the ASALA puts out a publication called
Hai Baikar (Armed Struggle). Mr. Toranian, one of the
Armenian National Movement leaders, is tied into the

ASALA apparatus. Toranian uses Post Office Box 39
Antony Cedex 92162 as his mail drop. The Armenian
Center for Research and Documentation and Informa-
tion is located in Lyons and is used as a contact point
between the ASALA and Toranian. The Armenian
cultural home run by Jules Mardirossian is used in a
similar fashion. Lyon and Nice where the Armenian
networks have the most developed infrastructure are
the major transit points for contacts into Paris for the
ASALA members.

VIII The Balkans: Slovenian-Muslim Fundamentalism

Profile

Essential for creating a "Mitteleuropa" Russian satrapy
is rearranging the Balkan map, including northern Italy,
the Austrian Alpine region, and into Yugoslavia with its
numerous ethnic minorities. The ethnic group overlapp-
ing Austria, Italy, and Yugoslavia is the Slovenians.
Therefore it is no accident that CIEMEN, the Qaddafi-
connected Lelio Basso Foundation, Longo Mai, INTER-
MEG, and the Bertrand Russell Tribunal are all involved
in detonating this issue in the recent period.

Organization and Personnel

Vladimir Dedijer/Bertrand Russell Tribunal: Dedijer, a
Yugoslav dissident living in Belgrade, organised the first
week of July, 1983 a Tribunal in that city against the
"cultural genocide" of the Slovenians living in the Friuli
region surrounding Trieste in Italy. Dedijer has been in-
volved with the Bertrand Russell networks since the first
Tribunals against the Vietnam war. Dedijer credits his
growing work on "cultural genocide" to the personal in-
fluence of French terrorist defender Jean Paul Sartre. He
now intends to begin concentrating on the Armenian
question, and is participating in an October Zurich con-
ference on the oppression of 12 minorities on both sides
of the East-West dividing line. "If you take the Slove-
nians in Yugoslavia, they are surrounded by a dominant
culture which are the Serbs and the Croats with their own
languages. In this situation, the poor 2 million Slove-
nians are being deprived of their original culture." Dedi-
jer endorses a Mitteleuropa geopolitical entity: "Mit-
teleuropa is based above all on a common culture. I am
not merely referring to the ideas of Coudenhove-Kalergi
or Professor (Otto von) Hapsburg, but in a broader way.
The African tribes are striving for unity. Why is it that
the Germanic tribe which is the greatest and biggest of
all Europe should be divided?"

CIEMEN: held a conference August 16-22, 1983, on
the problems of minorities living under foreign military
presence. This problem applies especially to the Friuli re-
gion, according to Father Argemi of CIEMEN, where

one-third of the territory inhabited by Slovenians is an
Italian military base. Argemi said, "It is difficult to
think of Slovenian reunification except if something
happens in Yugoslavia. The equilibrium between the va-
rious minorities is very precarious, there are a lot of ten-
sions, and Yugoslavia may indeed explode."

Theodor Veiter: The 75-year-old Vienna lawyer,
former advisor to CIEMEN, editor of Europa Ethnica,
collaborator to the Munich INTEM1EG of Josef Stingl,
and a bridge between the anti-nation state activities of
Hapsburg and De Rougemont. Veiter is a specialist on
the Slovenian question in the Carinthia region of Austria
and claims, "we are gaining more and more recognition
through the European Council and the United Nations in
Geneva." To coordinate all the potential postage stamp
nations and autonomies to be created by their work he
says a new institute, Spazio Miteleuropeo, has been
created in Schio near Venice by Prof. Antonio Cassuti.
In 1977 Longo Mai sent a delegation to work on the
Slovenian minority in Carinthia where one of their com-
munes is based.

Imam Hasan Cengic: Currently under trial, this 26
year old Imam is accused of organizing for an ethnically
pure Bosnia to be separated from Yugoslavia. His group
has also conducted pro-Khomeini leafletting and for
"Holy War" against the Serbian-Orthodox and Roman
Catholics to free Bosnia from "non-Muslim influences."
Older members of his group were members of the secret
"Young Muslim" organisation during the Second World
War. In 1943, Heinrich Himmler sent the pro-Nazi
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to Sarajevo, where he called
on these Muslims to join the newly created SS Division
Handjar (Turkish for Saber) while the Kosovo Albanians
were organised into the SS Skanderberg Division. The
Bosnian fundamentalists receive money from Qaddafi.

The Bosnian Muslims are working closely with the
Albanian Muslims of the Serbian province of Kosovo,
where two years ago separatist-ethnic riots erupted. The
ethnic tensions are still so tense that one-quarter of the
Yugoslavian army is deployed there and there is

24

widespread emigration of Serbs and Montenegrans. The
separatist Kosovo Albanians are working along the
scheme of a "Greater Albania" which would include
also the Albanian nationals living in Macedonia and
Montenegro. The Albanian agitators are closely linked
with Croatian nationalists who maintain links with
Bulgaria. Thus the "foreign minister" of the Croatian
exiles in the United States, Mestrovic, was invited to par-
ticipate in the 1981 1000-year celebrations of Bulgaria in
Sofia.
Dr. Small Balic: A key exile controller of Yugoslavian

muslims based at the National Library in Vienna. He is
also a chairman of Islam and the West, special delegate
for East Bloc Muslims. Balic considers the old Austro-
Hungarian Empire as a model of how to integrate
minorities under an imperial administration. Balic works
closely with Najdmuddin Bammate of Paris and Ryadh
handling relations with Soviet Muslims. Bammate is a
director of the 50 billion dollar Islamic Solidarity Fund
and a patron of Ben Bella. Balic works with the Franken-
thaler Gesprache which organises conferences on fun-
damentalism. It is controlled by the Anthroposoph cult.

IX Ultteieyropa— A Feudal Fte¥ivai and Russia's Satrapy

Profile

On September 19 and 20 a conference will take place at
the Duino Castle, near Trieste, of Prince Torre e Tasso.
In addition to the Prince, three other of Europe's top
oligarchical ideologues will be there orchestrating the
conference: Otto von Hapsburg, Aurelio Peccei, and
Dennis de Rougemont. The intention of the conference
is to define the cultural basis, primarily Viennese
positivism, for a new middle-European geopolitical en-
tity that can straddle the boundaries of NATO and the
Warsaw Pact. Both Peccei and de Rougemont are ac-
tively, directly involved in driving the American
presence out Europe. While Mr. Hapsburg might have
intentions of being opposed to Russian domination, his
support for undermining the nation states of Europe
feeds the Russian design. They intend to become power
brokers with the Russians as the destabilization
weakens the nations of NATO.

men." The PEU, whose slogan is "Europe of the
Regions," helped found the Munich INTERREG
which autonomists throughout Europe highly recom-
mend. Hapsburg is famous for his alliance with Panella
of the Italian Radical Party in support of taking
language and dialect questions out of the authority of
nations.

Dennis de Rougemont: Head of the Centre Europeen
de Culture and ECOROPA. The slogan of the latter is
also "Europe of the Regions." ECOROPA functions
as a coordinator for the Greenie and peace movements
throughout Europe and has included as member
Roland Vogt, Qaddafi's friend and Green represen-
tative in the West German Parliament. The Munich
branch, the E.F. Schumacher Society of Carl Amery,
works closely with the Anthroposoph cult and the
Erhard Eppler Social Democratic Party and Protestant
Church leadership.

Aurelio Peccei: Founder of the Club of Rome, the
organization that has done the most to undermine the
industrial and military strength of the West. With its
doctrine of "Limits to Growth," it unleashed a wave of
cultural pessimism making possible the anti-technology
Green and peace movements. Peccei helped found the

Gisela von Canal, representative of ECOMOPA at the
conference, bragged of their role in altering the "con-
sciousness" of people, "society must be decentraliz-
ed." Prominent in the Bavaria peace movement, she is
also involved in monitoring unrest among U.S. soldiers
stationed in West Germany. Wilfried Heidt, chief of
the Achberg Center, summarized the conference's goal
"to take the middle European area out of the bloc con-
frontation, to demilitarize the region." Austrian at-
tendee Ernst Sumpich spoke on "Mitteleuropa-
Settlement of Nobody's Land." In Slavophile terms
Sumpich praised "the good that comes out of the soul
of the Russian people." He will be attending the Duino
conference.

Qaddafi: KGB and the Nazi International

On June 24, EIR founder Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
called for an international campaign against Libyan
dictator and Soviet puppet Muammar Qadaffi. "All
courtesy arrangements with Libya," stated Mr.
LaRouche, "should immediately desist and operations
against Libyan agents should immediately begin. These
operations should not only be aimed at Libya but also
at Qaddafi personally." The American political leader
called on the countries of the European Community,
the United States, and members of the Organization of
African Unity to immediately impose a total embargo
against Libya.

What prompted Mr. LaRouche and EIR to initiate
this campaign is the intolerable policy of aggression
against the country of Chad, as well as the participation
of Libyan troops on the side of Syrian troops against
the Palestinians loyal to PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat
in Lebanon. Qaddafi is deliberately setting into motion
a chain of crises that threaten several African and Mid-
dle Eastern nations with destruction and war.

Created by Venetian oligarch and Mussolini advisor
Count Volpe di Misurata, Libya today is a fundamen-
talist cult state, not a nation. It is nothing but a
logistical and training base for international terrorist
organizations jointly controlled by Andropov and the
Swiss Nazi International which overlaps with the high-
finance mafia of Gelli's P-2 Lodge. Approximately
5000 individuals per year from across the globe are
trained as terrorists in Libyan camps.

Qadaffi is presently integrated into the new "Islamic-
Marxist" apparatus of Geidar Aliyev, Deputy Prime
Minister of the Soviet Union. Over a period of months,
Aliyev has been rebuilding the old apparatus of the
1921 Comintern-sponsored conference in Baku of the
"Anti-Imperialist Congress of the People of the
Orient" which was chaired by his father. The Baku
conference brought together Islamic fundamentalists,
national minorities, and other associations committed

Green Book are jointly sponsored with the Islamic
Department of the East German University of Leipzig
and its dean Professor Lothar Rathmann which has a
special agreement with the Libyan Studies Center in
Benghazi.

The Libyan Studies Center sponsors most of the
"friendship societies" in Europe such as the French-
Libyan Friendship Society directed by Club of Rome
associate Roger Garaudy.

The Green Connection

Supported most openly by Moscow and the GDR, the
Green Party of Petra Kelly, Otto Schily, and former
Nazi Werner Vogel has for years developed close rela-
tions with Qadaffi on the basis of common ideological
beliefs as developed in the Green Book. A key mediator
in that relationship was Alexander Langer, a leader of
the South Tyrolian secessionist movement and a central
leader of the ecology movement. It was Langer who in-
troduced Qaddafi to Schily, as well as to other members
of the Green Party. The relationship was made official
in spring 1982 during the Qaddafi visit to Europe where
under the sponsorship of then Austrian Chancellor
Bruno Kreisky, Qaddafi met in Vienna with the leader-
ship of the European green movement. The meeting
took place at the Imperial Hotel in Vienna on March
13, 1982. In attendance were:

— Alexander Langer, representing the Bolzano's
Nuova Sinistra;

—Alfred Mechtersheimer, former Bavarian CSUer,
former Bundeswehr officer and today director of Infor-
mationsbuero fuer Friedenspolitik;

—Otto Schily, Green Party member of the
Bundestag;

—Roland Vogt, Green Party member of the
Bundestag; and

—Professor Egon Matzner, Austrian Socialist Party
theorist

27

—Alfred Mechtersheimer, Otto Schily, Roland Vogt
and Alexander Langer;

— Gertrud Schilling, Green Party member of the
Hessen Parliament; and

— Thyra Quensel, Green Party-West Berlin who
coordinates relations between the green-peace move-
ment in West Germany with the network in Comiso,
Italy.

Thyra Quensel is an excellent example of a multi-
faceted Qaddafi agent. A Swedish national who has liv-
ed in West Germany for 17 years, Quensel travels exten-
sively as a recruiter for Qaddafi and has established
many connections. Last year, the first group she sought
to establish relations with to stop the placement of
Cruise missiles in Sicily was the Mafia. In 1982, she was
arrested at a demonstration against a nuclear testing
site in Nevada, travelled to Leningrad, Norway, and
Scotland, inteviewed Ernesto Cardenal of Nicaragua in
West Germany, and attended in Vienna the founding of
the Worldwide Artists for Peace organized by Prof.
Richard Falk's wife.

Libya's involvement with European-based separatist
movements is best demonstrated by the activities of
Alexander Langer. Langer is presently planning the
establishment in the coming months of a European
federation of minorities, linking up minority-oriented
organizations from northern and southern Europe.
Preliminary meetings took place to that effect in April
in Brussels and in Bolzano, Italy. Together, on a com-
mon platform, the European "ethnics and minorities"
and the ecologist movement throughout Europe, plan
to run for the 1984 European parliamentary elections.

The Terror Internationa!

Qaddafi and Prime Minister Jalloud direct Libya's in-
ternational capability for terrorism, subversion, and
propaganda.

General Boubakheur Younes is president of a special
commission that oversees the Libyan intelligence
services.

Said Gadafadam was for several years the first
secretary at Libya's embassy in London. He maintains
close liaison with one of Libya's most important opera-
tions abroad: the Main Event publishing house, led by
former Liberal Party leader Louis Eaks, a.k.a. Aziz
Yaffi, editor of the PFLP-connected Free Palestine
periodical. Mahmoud Akache, a PFLP member who
worked at Free Palestine, was killed in September 1977
at Mogadisco Airport while leading a hijacking. Like
Eakes, Juergen Moelleman (currently in the West Ger-
man Foreign Ministry) comes out of the "Liberal Inter-
national" and has a public relations firm with Libyan
ties.

This intelligence network is active presently in the
Middle East, aiding in the coordination of activities
between Libya's intelligence service and the Abu Nidal
terrorist group based in Damascus. Eaks and Main
Event have a travel agency used by Libyan diplomats.
Similar agencies exist in Paris and Vienna.

Mansour Gadafadam, brother of Said; both are
cousins of Qaddafi. He regularly travels to Paris,
Bonn, London, and Vienna to meet with green-peace
movement activists.

Mohammad Hijazi has been touring Paris, Bonn,
and London in recent weeks to reorganize Libyan net-
works to prepare them for the Hot Autumn.

Colonel Messaoud Abvabal is the military com-
mander of the Sebha base in southern Libya which is
the logistical and training headquarters for interna-
tional terrorism. Other bases include Sirta, Az
Azouiah, and Raz Hilal where Basque ETA members
have received training in underwater warfare and
demolitions. In October 1981 it was proven that an
ETA member who was a former diver in the Spanish
Army had received intensive training in Libya before
sinking a Spanish Navy ship.

The Islamic Legion which is presently operational in
Chad is also trained at these camps. The 1980 invasion
of Chad was commanded by the Colonel and it is
believed he is directing the present invasion. Qaddafi
agents in Europe are currently recruiting mercenaries
for the Legion.

Shiploads of arms are ferreted to Corsica, the Basque
region, and elsewhere from Lebanon through this net-
work, pre-paid by the Libyans. The boats are jointly
owned by the PFLP of Habash and the Arme-
nian ASALA. The ASALA finances its operations
through drug smuggling in collaboration with the
Mediterranean mafia, which uses Corsica as an impor-
tant base.

Ahmed Shehati is secretary general of the Congress
of the Mediterranean Socialist and Progressive
Organizations (CMSPO) which is one of the umbrella
groups for aboveground operations supporting the Ter-
ror International. In 1978, he met with Billy Carter,
brother of the former U.S. president. Accompanying
Shehati and Billy in Tripoli was the Sicilian lawyer
Micnele Papa, director of the Sicilo-Libyan Friendship
Society. Because of such connections, Sicily has
become a Mediterranean center for Libyan activities
directed at Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. It was the Li-
byan consul in Palermo, Mohammed Khalifa, who,
with the help of Papa, introduced Sardinian separatists
of the Partito d'Azzione to Colonel Messaoud and
General Hadj Ali Thabet.

The CMSPO includes many socialist parties of the
Mediterranean region such as the party of Papandreou
in Greece, the United Socialist Party (PSU) of France,
the former United Socialist Party of Spain which merg-
ed with the PSOE of Felipe Gonzalez. The former
leader of the United Socialist Party of Spain, Tierno
Galvan, is reported to have received 60 million pesetas
from Libya after the second congress of the CMSPO in
Barcelona in 1977. Associated to that process, at the
time, was the Andalusian Liberation Front, a split of
the Andalusian Socialist Party, a group which no
longer exists but whose members can be found in An-
dalusian separatist organizations associated with the
CEEMEN and with the Libyan-financed Association

28

for the Return of Islam. Muslim Brotherhood assets of
Qaddafi have targeted Andalusia to be transformed in-
to an "Islamic republic."

In West Germany, the CMSPO includes the left-SPD
faction around spokesman for development affairs Dr.
Uwe Holtz and has organized several seminars at the
University of Hannover and the University of Bremen.
At least one seminar was co-organized by Manfred
Hinz, who is an associate of "Netzwerk" and the Ger-
man representative of the Lelio Basso Foundation. The
Basso Foundation has been a key support operation for
both the Basque ETA and Italian terrorist networks.

Omar Al Hamdi, head of the Arab People's Con-
gress (APC) which primarily functions in Middle East
networks. Hamadi Allaghui directs the Paris office of
the APC. The APC is used in Europe as the liaison
organization between Middle-East based terrorists,
European-based Muslim Brotherhood operatives and
West European terrorist networks. The APC in Paris,
together with the Libyan ambassador Said Hafania,
finance such Muslim groups as the "Groupement
Islamique" and "Arab Radio." Having no license to
broadcast, the Radio has transformed itself into an
"Arab Cultural Association" whose secretary general
Said Absy is also the secretary to Algerian opposition
leader Ahmed Ben Bella.

The Nazi International

To find hardcore Nazis as an integral part of Qaddafi's
capabilities is not surprising, especially from the stand-
point of the Russians. Keeping in reference the "Baku
process," one can trace the fact that most of the
organizations which sprung out of that congress in 1921
ended up during WWII as assets of the Nazi intelligence
service's Abwehr Abteilung 11, Amt 6. The "foreign
nationalities division", Amt 6, was directed by SS
General Walter Schellenberg. The German proponents

of "Mitteleuropa" and the Russians cooperated very
closely in such regions as the Middle East. In Iran for
example, the Russians fostered German economic and
political interests up until 1941 as a way of containing
the British. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who became
a Hitler ally had more than a few friends on the Russian
side when it came to opposing the Western countries in
the Middle East. After the war, Lord Carrington's
crowd has shared these assets with the Russians.

Russian/Nazi collaboration continued after the war
in a joint operation to constrain U.S. influence. Ex-
emplary is the case of Egypt, where both the Soviets
and the old Nazis around Hjalmar Schacht, SS General
Wolff, SS Captain Reichenberg and Colonel Otto
Skorzeny collaborated to prevent Nasser from
establishing functional relations with President
Eisenhower.

More than ideological affinities, the relations bet-
ween Qaddafi, the Russians and the Nazi International
has been based on the very practical element of the
world-wide control over arms and narcotics networks
by Nazis. P-2 agent and Klaus Barbie associate
Stephano delta Quae is now in Buenos Aires, where he
reportedly is a key link in the Argentinian-Libyan arms
connections including the possible transfer of nuclear
material. These are the same networks used by Qaddafi
to transport weapons from Latin America via Portugal
into Iran over the recent years. The Israeli secret ser-
vices have penetrated this network and use it for their
own Venetian-style games.

Francois Genoud, the Lausanne-based financier and
official biographer of Martin Bormann, is the key Nazi
International connection to Qaddafi. In 1943, Genoud
began recycling the Reich's assets into Swiss banks and
later redeployed them into the Middle East and Latin
America. These funds today have been instrumental in
financing terrorist operations.

Genoud is at the center of old Nazi networks based in
Lausanne, Switzerland who intend a European revival
around separatism, "National Revolutionaries" in Ger-
many favoring reunification, and Islamic fundamen-
talism. These networks played a key role in launching the
Green movement, a nature-worshipping "blood and
soil" environmentalism. They hope to make accom-
modations with a Russia dominated by its own version
of blood and soil ideology..

center of FLN financing of numerous arms deals, usually
made in Germany by former Nazis who had been recycl-
ed as arms merchants. Otto Skorzeny, based in Madrid,
was part of the arms-smuggling operations which financ-
ed the anti-de Gaulle Secret Army Organization (OAS)
and the FLN. Genoud during the mid-1960's, financed
a major arms-drug deal between the Lebanese drag-
smuggling operation known as Casino du Liban and a
"French organization."

Genoud also set up contacts between the old Nazi net-
works and the Palestinians. In April 1969, in Barcelona,
at the "Europaische Neue Ordnung", a special delega-
tion of Al-Fatah spoke on the issue of the "Palestinian
Revolution." Genoud arranged for the training of Al-
Fatah troops by former Nazis such as Karl van de Put
of Belgium, formerly of the Afrika Corps and Johann
N. Schuller, presently living in Rome. According to one
lead, Schuller may have been linked to the assassination
of Aldo Moro.

Personal History

At the age of 21, Genoud joined the National Front of
Switzerland (NFS), a fascist group associated with
George Oltramare's National Union. Oltramare's family
comes from an old Swiss patrician family; the Oltramare
family now sits on the board of directors of the Lombard
Odier Bank of Geneva. This bank's facilities were used
by OSS officer Allen Dulles to facilitate the surrender of
SS Gen. Karl Wolff, head of the German army in nor-
thern Italy. Genoud was used as a personal intermediary
between Dulles and SS General Wolff.

In 1940, Genoud set up a night club, Oasis, in
Lausanne as a covert operation for the Abwehr there.
Prior to his operation in Lausanne, Genoud traveled ex-
tensively in the Mideast and met with the Grand Mufti
of Jerusalem in 1936.

By 1943, Genoud began using his banking connections
to set in motion the networks which later became known
as the Odessa. The transfer of millions of marks from
German into Swiss banks, and the evacuation of key SS
and Nazi leaders into Morocco, Spain and Latin
America, were the principal aspects of this operation.

Genoud befriended SS Gen. Wolff and countless
others, including SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny and Hitler's
finance minister Hjalmar Schacht. In 1956, while in
Cairo meeting with Schacht, Genoud was introduced to
the Algerian Front for National Liberation (FLN in
French), led by Ahmed Ben Bella and his treasurer
Mohammed Khidder. Genoud officially became a
courier between Tangiers and Cairo setting up the finan-
cial support operations for the FLN.

In 1959, Genoud created the International Association
of the Friends of the Arab World, and in 1960 opened
up relations with the head of the Arab Information
Center in Geneva. At this point Lausanne became the

Genoud and Islamic Fundamentalism:
Ben Bella, Ahmed Huber

Genoud's terrorist operations intersect various structures
set up through the Nazi war funds financing scheme,
utilizing the Abwehr II Minorities Division, Walter
Schellenberg's SS-SD unit Amt 6, and the Anglo-
American intelligence apparatus of the post-war period.
As a keeper of the Nazi funds, Genoud has been in-
strumental in arranging many terrorist operations.

The recruitment by the Genoud-Abwehr apparatus of
Ahmed Ben Bella demonstrates the method by which the
old Nazi/ Abwehr apparatus set up the Middle East fun-
damentalist operations. Ben Bella's relative, who
operated a radio transmitter in North Africa for the
Abwehr, recruited Ahmed into the Mufti-Abwehr
network.

However, according to a French source, the Genoud-
Ben Bella connection is further understood from the
standpoint of the career and international terrorist role
of Michel Pablo (ne Raptis). Pablo, born in Alexandria,
Egypt in 1911, arrived in Paris in 1938 and spent two
years operating underground.

His activity during the war remains relatively
unknown. However, immediately after the war, Pablo
emerged as the secretary general of the British
intelligence-controlled Fourth International. Out of this
operation the logistical infrastructure of what became
known as the Terrorist International was established.

Pablo was instrumental, along with Genoud, in setting
up the support apparatus for the FLN. In particular, two
workshops, printing and forging money and documents,
are part of the overall operation. Networks in Sicily,
Germany and Sweden were established for future ter-
rorist operations. In 1962, Pablo became an advisor to
Ben Bella.

30

During the Algerian war, Pablo was arrested by the
French authorities. His attorney was Jacques Verges.
Pablo was also recruiting Megis Debray as his asset for
future terrorist operations. In 1965, Verges defended a
Palestinian terrorist in Israel, and later, in March 1966,
a Jordanian named Hedjazi. Following this trial, Verges
disappeared for 15 years only to emerge as the attorney
for Baader-Meinhof terrorist-lawyer Klaus Croissant. In
1982, Verges defended Bruno Berguet and Magdelena
Kopp of the Revolutionary Cells along with Eric Moreau
of Action Directe.

The Islamic fundamentalist terrorist operations which
Genoud finances along with Prince Mohammed Al-
Faisal's D.M.I, bank are linked to their support for the
Groupement Islamique, based in Paris; Ali Kattani, head
of the Islamic Foundation for Science and Technology,
which is involved in separatist-terrorist projects in
Barcelona, Spain; the Islamic League for Human Rights,
a key coordination point of Muslim fundementalism;
Maarouf Dawalibi, head of the World Muslim League,
founder of the Geneva-based Islam and the West
organization, and a former member of the pro-Nazi
Syrian Popular Party (PPS). Genoud' s long association
with Dr. Said Ramadfaan, head of the Egyptian Muslim
Brotherhood, who is based in Geneva, set up a secret
operation with the head of the Islamic Council of
Europe, Alem Azzam, to overthrow several governments
of the Middle East.

Ben Bella has been targeting for Islamic fundamen-
talist revolts Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Spain, and
Algerian immigrant workers in Paris and Lyon. Ben
Bella received four tons of weapons for his revolts in
March 1983 from Qaddafi.

Genoud's other close collaborator in Islamic terror is
the Bern, Switzerland "journalist" Ahmed Huber.
Huber, co-leader of the Swiss-Arab Society with Hans
EUenberger and a member of the Swiss Social
Democratic Party, knows Genoud from mutual days
spent in Egypt. Huber proposes an alliance of old Nazis
and the Islamic fundamentalists to rescue the reputation
of Hitler and the honor of Germany from the "Jewish
influence of official America." Huber is a close acquain-
tance of Oaddafi. "that romantic Bedouin." and Khn-

Order organizations. In 1946, Amaudruz took over the
European Center for the Study of Fascism.

Working with Amaudruz was a Nazi youth leader,
Gunther Schwab, whose book Dance with the Devil
created the core ideological base by which today's new
fascist party, the Green Party of West Germany, was
formed. Schwab's coordinator for intelligence was
another SS officer named Theodor Soucek, who ran
from Vienna the Weltbund Schutz des Leben organiza-
tion. It is this grouping which became the ideological
center for the Nazi International.

EstabHshing the international networks became the
work of the Amaudruz-run Malmoe International.

One of the top law firms of the Nazi apparatus,
Poncet, Turetini, Amaudruz and Neyrod, is based in
Geneva. The firm is utilized by Francois Genoud in
handling many of his publishing lawsuits.

"There is no split between left and right wing,"
Amaudruz said in a recent interview. "The system is a
dictatorship of the center. It is very important to have
the extremes working together to bring down the system.
America is the world's main problem, the main obstacle
to peace. The white man should never have gone to
America. They repressed the American Indians there, it
was a brutal repression. America is the main threat to the
world. The peace movement's resistance against the
United States is perfectly justified... the collapse will
come."

Operationally, this neo-Nazi apparatus functions
through elements of Scottish Rite Freemasonic lodges: in
Italy, Propaganda-2; Monaco, Monte Carlo Lodge;
Geneva, Alpina Lodge; and London, the United Mother
Grand Lodge run by the Duke of Kent. Separatist
organizations such as the Basque ETA and its Corsican,
Armenian, Breton, Alsatian, and Tyrolean counterparts
are considered assets in place, along with the Society for
Endangered Peoples.

Genoud associate Otto Skorzeny was close to the
number two man in the Abwehr, Lahousen-Wemint. Ac-
cording to a former U.S. intelligence officer, Skorzeny's
ties into the Kalil family enabled him to finance many of
the projects for the Middle East. The Kalil's had old Ot-

the perfect cover the long-term interrogation of men like
Schellenberg.

Schellenberg, who had taken over Heydrich's position
after the latter's assassination during the war, was
Abwehr director over Admiral Canaris and also in
charge of the Gehlen Organization. It is not well known
that after the war, Reinhard Gehlen and his circle con-
fiscated Schellenberg's file system with an international
list of all informants, agents, etc. A reconciliation bet-
ween Schellenberg and Gehlen occurred in 1950, at a
meeting in Madrid, where Skorzeny opened his office
and received both men.

Genoud and India

Genoud's circle of protectors includes the sister of the
present Swiss Defense Minister Chevallaz. Mdm.
Chevallaz, Genoud's friend and associate is involved in
directing and coordinating key separatist movements in
India, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan and is working in
conjunction with Lord Carrington's Mideast apparatus.

Dr. Jagjit Singh Chauhan, the London-based Sikh
secessionist, works with a group in Lausanne centered
around the de Maurex banking family, which made its
wealth in investments in coffee plantations in Ethiopia in
the era of Emperor Haile Selassie, and with Madeleine
Chevallaz who is employed as a reporter for the
Lausanne-based "24 Hours" magazine.

Chauhan is coordinating operations against India's
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi with extremists funded by
the Muslim Brotherhood International who operate out
of the London Indian Muslim Federation and the Inter-
national Islamic Center in London. Both institutions
receive financial support from the previously mentioned
Saudi Arabia-based World Muslim League, headed by
former Syrian fascist leader Maarouf Dawalibi.
Dawalibi's Geneva-based Islam and the West organiza-
tion has on its board Club of Rome International Presi-
dent Aurelio Peccei, Swiss gun-running banker Nicholas
Krul and British "Arab handler" Lord Caradon. Accor-
ding to the head of the Indian Muslim Foundation, Dr.
Kahn, the financial relations between Dawalibi's group
and his own are handled through the Islamic Council of
Europe, headed by Muslim Brotherhood leader Salam
Azzam.

Azzam coordinates the recently-formed Islamic
League of Human Rights with Ahmed Ben Bella. Azzam
and Ben Bella have co-authored a "protest" against
"mass slaughter of Muslims" in the Indian region of
Assam, and are spreading the accusation that "the In-
dian government is without a doubt responsible."

Protectors and Collaborators

Another close business associate of Genoud is the widow
of Otto Skorzeny. Madame Skorzeny is presently direc-
ting capital flight operations out of Mexico and Morocco
with the help of Dr. Alfred Schaeffer's Union Bank of
Switzerland, Credit Suisse, and the Swiss Bank Corpora-

tion. These bankers were key in the Schacht apparatus
during and after the war.

A key protector of Genoud is Gilbert Bachiold, a
Swiss Socialist Party central committee member, work-
ing with Genoud on selling "soft technologies" to the
third world.

It is through the ideological and operational centers of
the neo-Nazi International that both left-wing and right-
wing assassination and terrorist operations come
together. The overlap of the Abwher-SS and the Trot-
skyite Fourth International is, in a sense, the Terrorist
International. In France the Nouvelle Droit le Pen, in
Germany the neo-Nazis, in Spain Nueva Fuerza, and in
Britain Column 88, are all basically under control of the
League of St. George, based in Britain— which also con-
trols the Regis Debray Fourth International via Michel
Pablo.

Italy: Mass Terrorism, the Mafia and Separatism

The inauguration day of Italy's first Socialist prime
minister, Bettino Craxi, coincided with a series of
developments coherent with the very nature of this
government and its program:

—A bomb was placed on the railroad track between
Florence and Bologna. The explosion went off just
seconds before the arrival of the train. According to all
police and security specialists, this attempt could have
provoked the worst massacre in Italian postwar history,
resulting in hundreds of deaths. The operation is believ-
ed to have been carried out by fascist terrorists.

— One of the key anti-Mafia Sicilian investigating
judges, Rocco Chinnici, was killed in Palermo by the ex-
plosion of a car bomb. All the security and media com-
ments on this murder indicated the parallel between the
Sicilian situation and war-ridden Lebanon. To cor-
roborate this parallel, Sicilian policemen arrested a
Lebanese couple, working with the local Mafia, as alleg-
ed executioners of the bombing.

— The leader of the freemasonic conspiratorial
association Lodge Propaganda Due (P2), Licio Gelli,
escaped from a Geneva, Switzerland prison. Gelli was to
be extradited to Italy within days and his interrogatories
there could have been potentially explosive for the new
government of Bettino Craxi.

— A special commission of the Parliament reversed
within hours its own decision to send back to jail the top
Italian terrorist Toni Negri. Negri was elected to the
Italian Parliament on the slate of the Radical Party, thus
getting out of jail through "parliamentary immunity."
Negri's legal status is also related to Bettino Craxi and
the Socialist Party. Under the guise of negotiations dur-
ing the 1978 Moro kidnapping, both Craxi and the
Socialist Party maintained contacts with the Red
Brigades using "cut-outs" provided by Negri.

The coherence of all these separate developments is
underscored by a process of further rapid deterioration
of the Italian state, a nrocess favored and not hindered

In the last months there has been an intense debate
among the Med Brigades and other terrorist groups,
about how to relaunch terrorist action. A generalized
and agreed upon line has come out, otherwise known as
the "Curcio line". Menato Curcio, one of the founders
of the Red Brigades currently serving a life-long jail
sentence, has proposed linking terrorist activities with
"social" campaigns, such as the peace movement, the
unemployed situation (especially in the crisis-hit South of
Italy), the "separatist" identity of minorities, etc.

Peace Movement

Through the complicity of Aurelio Peccei, the same
Radical Party which has permitted Toni Negri to get out
of jail and sit in the Italian Parliament, has produced a
detailed book on all NATO military and logistical in-
stallations in Italy. This operation is similar to what hap-
pened in West Germany and is coordinated interna-
tionally by the same forces.

The book was put together with the coordination of
the Radical Party parliamentarian Moberto Cic-
ciomessere, and was written at the Radical Party
thinktank IRDISP (Research Institute for Disarmament,
Development and Peace), Via Tomacelli 103, Rome. The
IRDISP is closely linked to the Stockholm SIPRI in-
stitute, the London International Institute for Strategic
Studies (IISS), Bill Arkin at the Washington Institute for
Policy Studies and Prof. Seymour Mellman at Columbia
University.

IRDISP was created in December, 1981 on the in-
itiative of Cicciomessere. Among the researchers are
several trainees of the Rome Jesuit Gregoriana Universi-
ty. IRDISP board members are:

— Aurelio Peccei, founder and president of the Club
of Rome.

— Eleonora Masini, the Jesuit-linked president of the
World Future Studies Federation, one nf the manv

separatist and terrorist group planned a military opera-
tion on the island in 1978-79.

The Sardinian Action Party was created during the se-
cond world war as a joint effort of British intelligence
and local oligarchical forces. Its leader and founder
Emiliu Lussu married Joice Salvadore, the sister of the
British intelligence (SOE) officer Max Salvadore, a
specialist on Italy who was promoting at that time dif-
ferent separatist schemes. Joice Salvadore Lussu and her
husband have maintained a close relationship to Lelio
Basso and his Foundation in Rome, one of the primary
sources for contacts with Muammar Qaddafi's regime
and all kinds of separatist and terrorist groups
internationally.

Coordinating the separatist activities and financing of
the Sardinian Action Party's Meloni and Piliu was Li-
byan general Mohammed Ajeli Thabet, who is close to
the head of the Libyan secret services, General
Boubakheur Younes. Contacts between the Libyans and
the Sardinians were arranged by the key Libyan agent in
Sicily, Socialist Party lawyer Michele Papa, from
Catania. Through Papa's work, Meloni and Piliu met
regularly with Thabet and Colonel Messaud at the Villa
Igea in Palermo. Messaud is in charge in Libya of the
military and paramilitary training of foreigners at the
Sebha camp. Papa's work, as well as all other financial
needs, were paid for by the Libyan consul in Palermo.

Michele Papa became known internationally around
the "Billygate" scandal. It was Papa who arranged the
contacts between Billy Carter— brother of then-president
of the U.S., Jimmy Carter — and the Libyan regime. A
Socialist Party member, Papa has never hidden his
fascist sympathies, such as his close connection to the
well-known fascist terrorist Zuccarello. Wanted by the
police because of terrorist attempts, Zuccarello escaped
to Spain where he enjoyed the protection of leaders of
Fuerza Nueva.

In Sardinia, in the month of July, 1983, there were a
series of fires provoked by arsonists which destroyed a
great part of the island woods and caused several deaths.
The President of the Sardinian regional administration,
Angelo Roich, declared publicly July 29: "This never
happened before. (The fires) started all on the same day,
on (July) 21st, as if they were the product of one brain,
of a destabilizing plan carried out in a calculated and
scientific manner". Suspected for this arson is the
Movimento Armaio Sardo (MAS, Sardinian Armed
Movement), a joint venture between the Red Brigades
and local organized crime groups. The MAS was first
created in the 1960s through the efforts of the
internationally-known terrorist Giangiacomo Feltrinelli,
a close friend of Lelio Basso and Emiliu and Joice Lussu.
Feltrinelli and the MAS advocated transforming Sar-
dinia into the "new Cuba of the Mediterranean".

After some decades of obscurity, the Sardinian Action
Party succeeded in sending representatives to the Rome
Parliament in Italy's June 26, 1983 national elections.
This separatist success by the PSA reflects a general
tendency in this election indicating the rapid deteriora-

tion of the central institutions and parties, and the
strengthening of various separatist, minority groups.

The region around Venice — Veneto — has sent two
representatives of the Liga Veneta to the Rome Parlia-
ment. The Liga Veneta was created as a political group
after 1979 and is pushing a federalist anti-central govern-
ment program: "We are for federalism, first Italian and
then European. This Italian state is the choice of a deter-
mined period," stated a spokesman of the Liga.

The Liga Veneta explicitly and loudly cites the
historical tradition of the oligarchic Republic of
Venice — one of the worst evils in the history of
mankind — as the reference point for its outlook. Not ac-
cidentally, the real, secret founder of the Liga Veneta in
the 1960s was the Venetian oligarch Count Alvise
Loredan. The two Loredan brothers, Alvise and Piero,
are well-known to terrorist investigators in Italy as the
masterminds of "left" and "right" terrorism, with close
connection to East bloc intelligence services, the P2
freemasonic lodge and Muammar Qaddafi.

The Loredan family was key in the postwar reshaping
of the Fascist International, otherwise known as the
Malmoe International. Alvise and Piero Loredan have
been named in all the major terrorist operations in Italy
since the 1960s, in particular the December, 1969 Milan
bombing. The two Loredans were in contact with and
coordinated the action of the fascist (right and left) ter-
rorists involved in the bombing. One of the persons
associated with Loredan was Claudio Orsi, nephew of
Italo Balbo, leader of Mussolini's movement and gover-
nor of Libya in the 1930s. Orsi was the leader of the
fascist group "Giovane Europa", an active member of
the Italo-Chinese Friendship Association and very close
to Claudio Mutti, head of the Italy-Libya Friendship
Association. When Mutti was accused by Judge D'Am-
brosio of leading "the Italy-Libya association (which)
functions as a cover for terrorist attempts," his friend
Orsi defended him publicly saying he was no fascist but
a "member of the Italian Socialist Party".

Another member of the Loredan terrorist network,
the fascist Mario Tuti, author of the train-bomb
massacre in 1974 (train Italicus), was financed by the Li-
byan embassy in Rome. Tuti publicly stated his
worldview: "Our inspirers and teachers are Codreanu,
Mao, Hitler, Qaddafi and the Mussolini of the Salo
Republic" (the last and most brutal period of Italian
fascism).

The Libyan and Socialist Party association with ter-
rorism was also exposed in May 1981 by the Milan
carabinieri when they arrested 12 left terrorists who were
carrying weapons supplied by Qaddafi. The leader of
this group was Maurizio Folini, who, it was later proven,
worked for the Russian KGB. In the group was also
Oreste Scalzone, together with Toni Negri one of the
"historical" founders of Potere Operaio, and connected
to the terrorist magazine Metropoli. Metropoli was
created with the direct "complicity" (as investigating
judges charged) of some top Socialist Party leaders like
PSI Directorate member Antonio Landolfi as a cover for
terrorist operations.

34

In Trieste, for the first time the local "autonomist"
group has run a national slate under the name "Ter-
ritorio Libera di Trieste" (Free territory of Trieste), win-
ning a seat in the Italian Parliament. This autonomist
slate which belongs to the general "Mitteleuropa" resur-
facing of the last period is the outcome and expansion of
a local separatist-autonomist slate for the city of Trieste
called "II Melone" (the honey melon). This was the crea-
tion of the local Radical Party (the same of the NATO
book and Toni Negri's candidacy) and the current mayor
of Trieste, Manlio Cecovini. Cecovini is one of the most
powerful freemasons in Italy, a "bishop of the Gnostic
Church", who paved the way for Licio Gelli's takeover
of the P2 freemasonic lodge.

In recent months in South Tyrol, there has been a
reactivation of the various separatist movements in this
partially German-speaking northeast region of Italy,
movements which became known internationally in the
1950s and 1960s for terrorist attacks against electric
towers, etc. The traditional political expression of this
autonomist tendency, the Suedtyroler Volkspartei, has
seen several regroupments on its right and left spectrum,
with clear separatist and terrorist or proto-terrorist
tendencies.

A former leader of the terrorist left group Lotta Con-
tinua, Alexander Langer, was among the organizers this
May of a conference in Bolzano of the European Federa-
tion of the Ethnic Minorities. Langer is also very close
to Qaddafi's Libya and was one of the organizers of the
meeting in Austria last year between Qaddafi and West
German Greens like Otto Schily and Roland Vogt.

Around the June national elections, a series of openly
separatist groups surfaced, like the Wahlverband der
Suedtyroler which states "our situation is similar to the
Irish one." The Wahlverband is the merger of the
Heimatbund and the Partei der Unabhangigen. The
Heimatbund was the political umbrella group for the old
terrorist groups of the 1950s and 1960s. It is significant
that the major spokesman of the Wahlverband is Eva
Klotz, daughter of the most known separatist terrorist of
the 1960s, Georg Klotz.

These various separatist groups have been under in-
vestigation by Trento Judge Carlo Palermo, who expos-
ed in the last year one of the biggest arms-for-drugs in-
ternational rings ever uncovered. Judge Palermo has ar-
rested old Nazis operating within the Suedtyroler
Volkspartei which represented the regional mafia
counterpart to the Bulgarian connection and Sicilian-
Libyan dealers.

Separatism and Linguistics

35

Why do the separatists insist so fanatically on the right
to speak a local dialect, often known but to a few
thousands souls, rather than maintain the com-
municative means afforded by a national language? It
is not .only a further indication of the intellectual
backwardness of separatist leaders such as Aureli
Argemi and Ivan Illich; it identifies a conscious plan to
subvert the integrity of the national state, by breaking
up its language.

Dante Alighieri was the father of the Italian
language, and as such, was the spiritual father of the
unity of Italians in the Italian nation. His explicit aim,
through his poem the Commedia, as well as his ground-
breaking theoretical treatises on language (de vulgari
eloquentia, Concicio), was to overcome the state of
isolation and backwardness imposed by the continuing
existence of thousands of regional and local dialects
along the thirteenth-century peninsula. He knew that
there would be no hope for Italians to create a nation
if they were strait jacketed by dialects shaped by brutish
sounds, like the "sad speech" of the Romans, the
"ugliest of all Italian vernaculars," or the Sardinian
dialect, which ' 'imitates Latin, just as monkeys imitate
men," or the Genoese, whose sound system is offensive
to the ear. Dante sought to develop the illustrious ver-
nacular, Italian, as the national language which "ap-
pears in every city but rests in none," that is, which is
common to every local dialect but limited to no single
one. It is only through such a language, polished and
ordered through poetry expressing universal ideas, that
the individual brought up speaking a native dialect can
develop his mind to contribute ideas of universal im-
portance to his fellow man. That mankind has proven
capable of creating great literary tools has been the
prerequisite for science, and thereby for the continued
progress of human society.

Destroy national languages, and you destroy the pro-
gress of human thinking, technological progress and
science. That is the ultimate policy objective of the
separatist linguisticians. They have expended massive
efforts into cultivating local and regional dialects,
under the guise of protecting threatened languages, and
have lobbied to gain legislative equality vis-a-vis the na-
tional tongue, as the first step towards outright
autonomy. By fostering the use of such parochialized
and limited dialects, they have effectively condemned
entire populations to backwardness. Among the leader-
ship strata of separatist organizations, local dialects are
used as veritable brainwashing programs, to maintain
top-down control over hard-core terrorist components.

The importance of linguistics for separatism is
underlined by the fact that the CIEMEN, on the in-
itiative of Benedictine leader Argemi, will dedicate its
next annual conference to "Semiotics and Social
Language" (August 16-22, 1984).

It should come as no surprise that the thinktanks
dedicated to spreading dialect use are integrally con-
nected to those running separatism and terrorism.
Under the overall control of the United Nations
UNESCO, which has financed and staffed studies of
local dialects (even of tiny communities, like the
700-person Occitanian-speaking region of Calabria!),
the major associations involved are the CIEMEN and
the Gesellschaft firr Bedrohte Volker (GfBV), as well as
the Association for the Defense of Threatened
Tongues. The principal areas of activity of CIEMEN
are the dialects of France, Spain and Italy. In addition
to CIEMEN secretary Aureli Argemi's personal
linguistic studies on Corsican-Genoese and Sardinian,
CIEMEN concentrates on the Occitanian dialects, on
the Basque (Euskera) and on Venetian.

In Milan, Italy, CIEMEN shares its offices with the
magazine "Etnie," whose founders include Roberto
Sonaglia, a partisan of the Movimento Federate
Padano, and Guido Aghina. Aghina is the city coun-
cilman responsible for Cultural Affairs in Milan for the
Italian Socialist Party, whose links with terrorism have
been amply documented. Jesuit linguistician Ivan Illich
and his Center for Intercultural Documentation
(CIDOC) in Cuernavaca, Mexico, which work with the
CIEMEN networks through the GfBV and the Club of
Rome, is dedicated to undermining national languages
in the North and South American continents, pro-
moting the revival of Indian dialects. Illich takes his at-
tack against Spanish to extreme lengths, targetting Elio
Antonio de Nebrija, the fifteenth-century humanist col-
laborator of Erasmus, who circulated a Spanish gram-
mer among the dominions of Queen Isabella. Illich at-
tempts to destroy first the national language, then all
language. His claim is that in the medieval world to
which he and the Club of Rome want to return
languages are unnecessary. "In the essentially sun-
powered cultures of the past, there was no need for
language production. Language... was learned from the
encounter with people whom the learner could smell
and touch, love or hate."

Basque

Basque separatism actually began with a language pro-
ject, headed by a Pamplona lawyer named Arturo
Campion. Writing in 1876, Campion stated: "So long
as Euskadi keep their original and personal tongue,
there need be no fear that their passion for their envied
feudal privileges should decrease, for each word they
pronounce will remind them of the political and social
condition of their ancestors, and will encourage them
never to falter in the claims to their undeniable rights."
Another lawyer Sabino Arana y Goiri, founded the
Basque Nationalist Party in 1892 on a program which

36

included the following demands: independence of
French and Spanish Basque from their respective na-
tions; ruralism, to defend Basque purity against
capitalism; radical defense of Euskera (Basque dialect)
against Castillian, which is the vehicle of the state.

The Sociedad de Estudios Vascos was then created as
the vehicle for organizing the first autonomy projects in
the twentieth century. In 1931 they explicitly stated that
"the national language of the Basques is Euskera."

Currently, the main institutions promoting Euskera
studies as a part of the Basque separatist movement are
the Institut per a l'Estudi del Base (Basque Studies In-
stitute) and the Academia de la Lengua Vasca. The lat-
ter has several links to terrorism. MIT linguistician
Noam Chomsky, who works with the Academia, has
documented relations to terrorist groups through the
Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). Pierre Vilar, a
Catalan separatist collaborating with the Academia, is
the author of numerous proterrorist articles published
in the Basque paper Egin, which supports ETA.

Several of the directors of Egin have been called
upon to testify in ETA murder cases and have been fin-
ed by the Interior Ministry. Federico Krutwig, who has
presided over the Academia, has also been said to be
linked to ETA assassins in Paris and Brussels. The case
of Krutwig is particularly significant. Son of the
representative of Krupp in the Basque, Krutwig is
allegedly fluent in most Western European, middle
eastern and Slavic languages. In 1942 he was elected to
the Academia de la Lengua Vasca, but was forced into
exile in 1953. At the World Basque Congress of 1956,
it was Krutwig who pushed for the need to create a
guerrilla movement to fight for autonomy. In 1965 he
travelled to Brussels, where he worked for the Chinese
Embassy, translating into Euskera the texts of Mao. In
exchange, the Chinese Foreign Language Institute of
Peking translated his books on the Basque question.
Krutwig is a close associate of Ernest Mandel, the
leader of the Trotskyist Fourth International; both
were linked to top Spanish terrorist Jose Maria Escubi.

Linguistics goes deep into the history of the ETA.

Catalan

Catalan, which the Basques take up as an example to
imitate, was the official language of Catalonia until
1716, and continued to be used as the language of the
courts and schools until the nineteenth century. About
8 million people speak it as their native language. Ex-
ploiting the emotional response to the fact that dictator
Franco outlawed Catalan, preventing newspapers or
radio-TV to use it through the 1970's, the Catalan
separatists have pushed broad use of the language. Not
only are most courses in Catalan universities conducted
in the dialect, but the separatists through CIEMEN de-
mand that all Catalan speaking regions be unified in
one "nation". This would include large areas of
France, as well as 20,000 people in Alghero Sardinia.

The two institutions which work with CIEMEN
through the Defense et Promotion las Langues de
France are the Barcelona-based Institut d'estudis
Catalans and its French offshoot, the Institut d'estudis
Occitans, both dedicated to literary and linguistic
studies relating to Catalan history. Links to terrorism
run through the Catalan-Provencal theatre group called
Els Joglas, in Barcelona.

One member, Andres Solsona, was arrested in July
1983 for harboring an ETA terrorist in his home. He
was also a member of the Liga Comunista Revolu-
cionar, a Trotskyist group promoting separatism on
both sides of the Hispano-French border.

Occitan

Occitania, whose name was coined by a Benedictine
monk in the seventeenth century, is a Franco-Italian
region stretching across about 190,000 square
kilometres, and housing 12 million people. Known as
the region of the lang d'oc, Occitania proliferates with
dialects, including Provencal, Delfinis, Guinese, Lim-
buine, Alvergnat and Guascon. The Movimento
Autonomista Occitano (MAO), or Occitan Autonomy
Movement, works closely with CIEMEN and with the
Piedmont regional government, both of which are pro-
moting study and use of the lang d'oc as the common

37

On the French side of the Occitan operation, the
CIEMEN, whose Italian operations are based in Milan,
also works to "promote the development of the con-
sciousness of Occitanians that they are Occitanians."
CIEMEN operations include groups in Carcassone and
Montpellier. In Beziers, France, they have a Centre In-
ternationale de Documentation Occitane, which is
slated to become the "national library of Occitania".
Other institutions of CIEMEN are the Conservatoire
Occitan, the Centre d'estudes Occitanes Universita
Paul Valery, in Montpellier, the Escola Occitana
d'estiu Villeneuve-sur-lot, all of which study and teach
Occitan. The Universite Ardechoise d'Ete at Aubenas
in the Ardeche is run by a collective review called
"Vivares, Terra Occitana." Another Occitanian group
operating in Toulouse and Barcelona is the CAOC,
dedicated to reuniting the paisos cantans (France and
Spain).

Closely linked to the Occitans, is the Franco-
Provencal movement. Spread throughout France,
Switzerland and Italy (Piedmont), they are valley
populations speaking a mixture of lang d'oc and lang
d'oeil. According to Franco-Provencal linguistician
Edoardo Ballone, "it is a neo-Latin tongue of an an-
cient population who lived, in the dark night of time,
in a part of the western Alpine region."

Organized in the research and study institute known
as EFFEPI, the Francoprovencals organize cultural
events to bring together the disparate valley popula-
tions and to create in them a sense of common Fran-
coprovencal, or "Patois" culture. Ornella de Paoli,
secretary of EFFEPI, organized the first such event in
Val Soana in 1980, gathering people from Aosta, the
Savoy, and Switzerland. "It was a moment of
rediscovery of collective consciousness, a rediscovery of
our own ethnia..." she wrote.

The Turin University Linguistics Department is in-
strumental in promoting the Patois cause. Under the
leadership of Prof. Gianrenzo Clivio (who also teaches
at Toronto University), the department has put out a
Linguistic Italian Atlas, the atlas for the Patois.

Others

In addition to the major linguistic separatist operations
mentioned above, the CIEMEN and Piedmont regional
associations are also actively engaged in promoting
"linguistic consciousness" among speakers of Sardi-
nian, Calabrian, Corsican, Slovenian, Alemany (Sud
Tyrol), and Albanian. The last is particularly promoted
by CIEMEN, through the Palermo-based Associazione
de Insegnanti Arbesch, which aims to unite the
estimated 80,000 Albanian speakers spread throughout
southern Italy. Other university institutions involved in
the CIEMEN network include the Philology Depart-
ment of the Milan State University, the Oriental In-
stitute of Naples, and the Language Department of the
Venice University (whose halls were recently given to
the KGB-controlled Pugwash Conference proceedings).

Legislation

The separatist linguisticians have operated both on the
national and international plane, preferring, for ob-
vious reasons, the latter. In 1970, in Italy, after the na-
tional Parliament institutionalized regional relatively
autonomous government, the push for linguistic in-
dependence was accelerated. First to strive for special
status was Sardinia, whose dialect had first to be of-
ficially considered a language.

As far as the Sardinians are concerned, it was in
Heidelberg University that the earliest linguistic
research was carried out, on which the separatist move-
ment was built. Prof. Max Leopold Wagner was the
author of the 1921 "Studien tiber den sardischen Wort-
schatz", of "La lingua sarda," and the "Dizionario
etimologico sardo," works which led to establishing the
reputation of the Sardinian dialect, which Dante so cor-
rectly ridiculed, as a bona fide language.

Early in the 1970's the faculty of the Literature
Department of the Cagliari University, which houses an
International Center of Sardinian Studies, voted a
resolution demanding that Sardinian be accorded parity
with other neo-Latin languages and therefore juridical-
administrative recognition. Later in the decade, it was
proposed that the Sardinians organize a "people's in-
itiative," a mass petition, to introduce a bilingual
regime on the island. Although the bureaucratic process
lagged, bilingualism was established de facto, rendering
legal action essentially superfluous.

The Partito Sardo d'Azione, recently elected to the
national parliament, has demanded that parliamentary
debate be carried out in dialects. The Liga Veneta,
which has entered national parliament for the first
time, is also demanding recognition of the local dialect.
The umbrella group which organizes such legislative ac-
tions in Italy is the Association for the Defense of
Threatened Tongues, headed by Prof. Alessandro Piz-
zorusso, of the University of Pisa. Pizzorusso has
prepared a bill which would allow mandatory dialect
teaching in elementary schools, optional instruction at
the university level, use of minority dialects in courts,
public offices and banks.

But the true court for airing the complaints of the
separatists is the European Parliament in Strasbourg,
itself a synthetic institution created to engineer the
destruction of the European nation states. On May 26,
1981, the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly
unanimously adopted a resolution of the Catalan
separatists. Entitled "Lengues minoritaries i dialectes a
Europa," the document, authored by Spanish Senator
Cirici i Pellicer, included the following demands:

a) ...the progressive adoption... of the correct forms
of toponymy (place names) from the original language
of each territory, no matter how small;

b) ...progressive adoption of the maternal language
in the education of children (use of dialect orally in the

i

pre-school stage and the normalized forms of the

mother tongue in primary education during which the
majority language of the country will be gradually
introduced;

c) . . .public assistance for the local use of the minority
normalized languages... in higher education and com-
munications media of concerned territories according
to the will of the communities which speak them.
